why bikes hate cars
Because when there is an accident between us we end up getting crushed.
Because they are on the phone.
Because they honk just as they go by us.
Because they squirt Windex on us.
Because they throw hamburgers on us and then when we catch up to them in a apoplectic rage, they throw a 32 oz. drink at us.
Because we know the world would be a better place if more people biked and they don't.
Because sweat smells bad but car exhaust is worse.
Because they react to their jealousy of our nimbleness with brutish bullying.
Because they barely notice us yet our lives are dependent on noticing them.
Because we are nice and they are mean.

Because, because, because, because...
Listen you sangria drinking, dirt eatin, little lord fontleroy shoe wearing, hippy freak. Just because you pulled out in front of a motorist making a right hand turn and got your shoes scuffed, doesn't mean you can bitch every time some moron runs you over for pulling out in front of him.
If there was a bike path from any where close to my house to where I work, I'd be all over it. In the absence of a bike path, or even a bike lane, I think you're just playing russian roulette everytime you leave the house planning to ride a bicycle withing ten feet of any motorized vehicle.
You're gonna lose every time, and I'm gonna be really pissed off when you end up dead.
Dude,
Nobody knows better than me that cars see it as their inalienable right to run over bikes. But what about the glass cleaner and "nice hamburger hat, dude. would you like a drink to go with that?"
That shit ain't cool.
Harley riders get crapped on too. People zoom up behind you, you get honked at and pointed at and people throw garbage out the window trying to nail you...
I don't Harley it anymore, but when I did I was never afraid of the weather or the driver but terrified of the finger-pointing, motorcycle-hating public.
Wassap??!?
(sorry - I'm trashed - this was the most intelligent comment I could come up with)
Weinkraut, no go! Crackhead had her laptop stolen by filthy Canadians. They scare me.
MB, You know how sometimes when you see some SuperAss doing something horrendous and you think to yourself, "man! i wish there was a cop around"? Fucktards throwing shit at people trying to drive/ride in traffic is one of those times.
In the case of the punkasses who threw a burger and then a supersized drink at me, I had caught up with them and got their plate # and called it in. The cops called me back and told me it was some kids who went out for a joy ride in one of their moms' cars. Mom was none too happy to find out 1) the car was taken; 2) her kid and his friends were a gaggle of fucktards.
Capt, Thorn and Thistle Code, Article XII, Section 5b states:
any commentor claiming to be "trashed," "shitfaced," "schnockered," or any such similar state must use the appropriate a) misspellings; b) grammatical errors; c)incoherencies.
Please refer here for an example (albeit one during a workday).
Don't forget the Canadians also stole my passport.....and gave me a lecture on NAFTA.
