Watched a whole group of cyclists blow a stop sign right in front of me. Caught them at the traffic light. Told them I used to ride 1000s of miles every year, my kid is currently on a mountain bike team and that type of behavior gives all cyclists a bad name. Mr entitled douchebag clapped back "Did you see us slow down for it?" I replied "Yes. Congrats, but it's not a slow sign..."

If you want to be treated with respect on the road, respect the rules of the road.

I went on a job interview years ago and one of the first questions the manager asked me was “what do you think about cyclists”.

Apparently he was a cycling Nazi.

I didn’t get hired

Road bike riders are the worst. Get on a fricking trail somewhere

Cyclists in and around SLC are the worst example of the stereotype

So you actually rolled down the window to talk to them and be all.. “so dude, I used to be you, but better and not as douchey. But I’ve grown up and moved past thinking I’m Lance Armstrong. Just letting you know I’m a bro and I get it but just some advice from someone who’s been there. Helmets up bro. Later!”

I have a habit of pinching them to the curb as they try to “slow” a red light.

I ride MTN bike and hate road bikers.

I have zero issues if they follow the same rules as everyone else, but I had a cyclist try and get into the roundabout while I was already in it and he went bonkers.

It was coming off a hill and he would need a lot of momentum to get up the next hill, so I get it, but rules is rules.

This was on Lower Roswell for the thousand folks on here who live in the area.

Ive never met a biker who was tolerable. They all love to tell you how much they bike and you have enough of them in 2 mins.
