Those bicycle fucktards deserve to get hit.

Austin has huge shoulders alongside the roads so that cyclists can be out of the way. There is still a huge danger at on/off ramps. Yes, some of the roadies are assholes... but their visibility is no less important than yours when you are riding your motorcycle.

I don't ride the wrong way down one way streets. I don't roll through stops and reds at full speed without looking. I stay out of blindspots and I don't wobble all over the place blocking traffic at 8 miles and hour while crying about how people need to "share the road"

Everytime one of these morons gets flattened they sue the driver (its never their fault) and then protest for more concessions. They already got full lanes on pine and spruce and they can't even stay on those

My visibility is unnecessary. My bikes like Tommy: you're gonna hear me, feel me

You're suppose to go the opposite way of traffic when on foot or on bicycle. It's so you can see the traffic coming.


My problem is walkers. There will be side walks and parks with grass and these idiots walk on the street. When I say street I don't mean close to the curb, I mean a 1/3rd of the way in.

You walk against traffic and bike with it.
