Uh, no. Learn the law. Bicyclists get tickets for riding on the sidewalk in most cities.

I don’t want this to come across the wrong way, because I think it’s actually a pretty great idea, but if the guys would always go shirt on and the girls would go completely natural topless, then I think extra attention by motorists would be paid to at least the girls Keen attention. The guys will just have to be extra careful.

Hopefully she doesn't ride like many cyclists who want to be treated as a vehicle on the road yet refuses to obey the law like vehicles on the road. Many feel they do not need to stop for stop signs, red lights, pulling out in traffic, etc
More hypocrisy from the fat OT baws. I see vehicle drivers doing the same exact shite regularly but you are not malding over that.
Plus you never encounter cyclists in the wild. lmaoo.

I don’t care when anyone rides on the road.
If I get on the road in a car, I take on risks of travel.
If I get on the road on a bike, I take on the risks of travel.
Because of the relatively simple concept of momentum, mass x velocity, I assume more risk of harm if I’m on a bike. This is regardless of assignment of fault. Finger pointing does no good at this point.
That guy that slammed into a stopped bus is not worried about blame. He’s only worried about surviving.

Most of this board has an irrational hatred for cyclists and never encounter them in any appreciable numbers.
The criticisms of cyclists (don't follow the rules, don't stop at stoplights, etc) can be levied against vehicle drivers but this board does not mald over that.
The simple fact is most cyclists, myself included, are just looking to ride in peace and not be harassed by fat bubba in his 250.
On several occasions I have had vehicles intentionally pass me as close as possible in an attempt to make me crash.
frick those dipshits. I ride in the bike lane and not during heavy traffic, so these moves were very intentional.
Cycling threads just showcase once again that people hate that which they do not understand.

I don't really consider myself a cyclist but I ride bicycles often on city streets. Usually just to get to a bike path but I have to do it for some stretches of highway. It's always a mad dash and I absolutely hate it. I don't care what the rules of the road are, I stay off of busy highways as much as possible because it's the smart thing to do. I really don't feel like getting crunched like a beer can to prove a point for cyclist everywhere.

Have a thing for skinny Irish girls so that’s a yep for me
OP: I’d have hit it, frontal, but not with my car. And from behind as well.
Tight & light, thanks.
