Everybody Hates Cyclists

bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online

1. Thats funny that you get upset if a car slows you down but you don't mind causing backups.
2. I hate cyclists unless they are women with a nice ass. Other than that for the most part they are fat out of shape older men that ride 5 miles an hour down a 40 mph road.
3. Ann, That was a very insightful rationale for the possible misperceptions drivers have about cyclists and specifically the positioning of cycles on the road. I do think that some drivers who endanger lives by behaving inconsiderately would benefit from a month or so of riding a bike to work. Although there would no doubt still exist a belligerent minority.
4. Regarding hatered towards cyclists. I have just started to cycle again after 20 years. I am also relearning the UK bike laws. I do ride the bike but I try every way to keep it off the road or in the cycle lane on sides of roads. At a traffic light I will stop at a red light but if it is a cross road, I make no attempt to cross it riding the bike if it is busy. I get off and walk it round and continue back on bike when I got passed this section. Reasons why is the attititude I seen in a lot of these videos. I looked very closely at the road markings at a cross road or a roundabout, i believe cyclists are required to be in lane for their chosen directions. I have only done this at night where the roads are clearer same applies to roundabouts. In the UK I believe to cross a cross road or a roundabout a cyclist has to be in the middle of the road.
   
   Non Cycling reasons, I don't particularly like motorists who act and behave like maniacs in their cars or whatever. If they want to act like a pratt for example cutting up a bus and making bus I using suddenly stop, they deserve everything that hits them.
5. Because the beginning of the video I almost left a dislike and left, but I was puzzled by your cycling shirt then it showed up "I actually love cyclists" hah. At first I was like great.. Another hater. Then I was like ohhhh
6. That's what you get for the Title I hate cyclists. If you would have Titled it Understanding Cyclists, and how innocent they are, I wouldn't have watched the video.
7. No I had a run in with some nasty little cyclists today hogging the road when they have a perfectly good bike lane, well maintained. So I went online to see if others hate cyclists too.Tell you what I'll ride my horse in your bike lane at 2 mph and see how you guys like it. let him poop on it too.
8. I'm glad your friend broke her arms. screw you all! Ride a stationary bike in the gym.
9. The outfits make even homely looking girls hot.
10. fuck bicyclists that ride side by side! Ride in a single line and hug the curb! Don't take up the entire freaking lane because you want to take a Sunday afternoon ride next to your wife!
11. I cut across five lanes of empty road and a few moments after I had crossed some guy beeped and screamed at me
12. I have no objection to safe cyclists who respect the rules of the road. What gets up my nose are those who think that a 20mph speed limit (like through my village which has no footpaths) does not apply to them when they are going down hill. I'd also like to see ear buds and MP3 players banned for cyclists simply because with them in cyclists cannot hear the traffic or the audio alarms of reversing vehicles. My other pet peeve is cycling two abreast on main roads, especially when the cyclists know there is a queue of traffic behind them, and finally perhaps the worst thing cyclists do is fly through red lights. I am a firm believer in the fact that if a cycle route is provided then cyclists should be legally compelled to use them, and that people drunk on cycles should have to suffer the same penalties as any other drunk road user.
13. so many stupid points in this video honestly.
    
    1) stuff on the side of the road. i can understand gravel and some stuff but not as much as youre making it out to be. if your tires werent fucking rubber bands it wouldnt be an issue.
    2) we need to move all the way over for you? as long it is safe to do so you should move over aswell, ESPECIALLY when you know a car is behind you and you just keep riding straight in the lane when YOU could move over!
    3) And the best one, really, i cant believe you put this at the end of your video... "oh cyclists take so much shit we deserve to take the whole road like a jackass" FUCK YOU.
    
    ive ridden bicycles. you need to make sure youre making yourself safe out on the road. dont rely on other drivers to keep you safe.
    pull the fuck over, use bike lanes, use the BIKE trail, use SIDEWALKS, oh its too fucking bumpy,
    
    or the real reason why you wont use the sidewalk is then cuz youd actually have to stop at every intersection. instead of driving straight through like a dickhead.
14. I've had them spit on my car while stuck in traffic knowing I can't do anything. I admit one time it was my mistake when I cut him off but I don't feel that I deserved to have my car spat on. So now when I see violations while on duty I give them citations. I figure its a way of bringing back balance to the universe and since you don't pay for insurance or state registration fees I am sure you can afford the ticket. Drive/bike safe :)
15. Fuck you cyclist homo douche bags !!
16. In NSW we now pay the same fines for traffic infringements as cars - $450 for running a red light for instance. If I have to pay a car sized fine, I'm going to take up a car size amount of road. Go fuck yourself NSW Govt
17. A beautifully balanced video, seeing both views but also pointing towards general road awareness.
18. You forgot, I hate cyclists cause they wear lycra...
19. Ann makes some good points here , but the figures work both ways, 10% of both drivers and cyclists are buttheads. the real problem is when these opposing 1 in 10 meet on the road, 2 buttheads into 1 don't go. Also worth remembering is that in a collision between a car and a bike, the cyclist will invariably come off worse, regardless at whose at fault. please take care on the road.
20. Stay off the road and you won't have any problems. If you don't like it, too bad.
