Straight up insane! This comes a few weeks after another local guy took it upon himself to run down a bunch of bikes at the Tuesday night time trial...

Stay safe out there

What an ignorant ass hat. His arguments are about as ludicrous as comparing this ISIS to the other ISIS.

I commented. Forgive me for being an asshole.

This reminds me of a rant I had with myself the other morning running. On a rural road, running towards traffic. Car is coming towards me, I can hear a car coming from behind. There is some 2' high grass right along the road which I don't want to jump into since it's usually filled with ticks.
I'm running on the edge of the road and can see the driver coming towards me anxiously trying to figure out if he can squeeze by me and the car coming towards us.
Rather than stop 5-6 seconds, or even slow down, and wait for the other car to pass, he has to keep going and come pretty close to me. Not close enough to almost hit me but close enough to make it uncomfortable to me.
I don't get why people can't slow down or stop for a couple of seconds to let the other car pass, what's the hurry.
Okay, enough of my hijacking the thread. Back to you ISIS, asshole cyclists.

"Pedal bikers have no regard for vehicles that pay insurance, gas taxes, license plate and inspections....". So, only dbags who drive their tractors down country roads pay insurance and taxes? What a fuckwad. That is the worst argument ever. I have heard it before many times. We all pay insurance and taxes. Does he make the same argument about anything other than a tractor or redneck truck using the road? All that being said, some cyclists are also fuckwads. In general this is a neverending argument that will always end badly for the cyclist so try to obey the rules of the road you pesky pedal-bikers.

Someone must have pissed this dude off. I think sometimes cyclists have good intention but they end up really pissing off motorists. I saw a lady the other day riding down a busy rural road on the shoulder FACING traffic. I love cycling and cyclists but as a motorist I wanted to stop and ask her what the F was wrong with her.
