CARS VERSUS BIKES! SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY

I own a car. Therefore, I hate bikers. Hate the game, not the player. Or is it the other way? I've heard it both ways. Whatever. If you own a car, you hate bikers, if you bike, you hate car drivers. Fact of life. But, surprisingly, I'm not hear to bitch about those twats on wheels.

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! EVERYONE! COME SEE THE ROAD FIGHT!

I'm not sure how it rolls in your country, but bikers around here aren't allowed on the sidewalk. This is where my poorly thought-out rant lies. That leaves the road and bike lanes for them to use. Very few roads in my city have a bike lane, so that leaves them to contend with actual vehicles.

Imagine a biker, on a sidewalk, hitting a pedestrian. If you're imagining a fat guy getting hit like I am, it's mildly to respectably funny. Scraped knee, some rough words, but ultimately everyone is fine. Now imagine a car hitting a biker.

Pfft, who needs imagination when the internet has specific shit like this?
That's a lot worse than scraped knees. And if you imagined a fat guy getting hit again, then that just makes it worse, you sick, sick person. I think there should be a helluva lot more bike lanes, or let them ride on the sidewalks again. Keeps them out of my way, but for their own safety. Not just my irrational hatred.

  1. I am a skateboarder and I have a raging hatred for bikers. I completely understand. They run through the parks with so much more velocity you can't play chicken with them, and they break up the concrete. +follow just for this.

  4. I always try to keep my hate concealed when I drive by bikers because I know deep down inside they aren't the horrible people I see them as while I'm driving
