Lucky Luke. Posted March 16, 2010 Share I really do not see an attitude ! If you switch me while I am in my truck I will not be so kind . days ago everyone said the poor cyclist's' date=' now you are saying damn the cyclist if you are in your car.If you do not know what happend, why comment to negatively?[/quote'] If you are going to behave like an asshole then I will treat you as such Please be specific. Does this 'treatment' occur whilst you are tucked inside your big shiny wankermobile or after you step outside? Are you advocating vehicle-actuated justice for people you judge to be 'assholes'?

As cyclists we go on how we will just shake our head and accept people cycling like idiots, but let a car drive like an idiot. My word, then we run to get the pitch forks and burn the people at the stake! Hypocritical! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I am in a car....he / she is no danger to my unlike a taxi, bus or other idiot driver. You are also asuming that the cyclist was in the wrong......that is what I do not get. Everyone always assumes it must have been the cyclists fault.... what if SUV dude was on his cellphone, and he won't tell us that??? And that is why the cyclist did what he did....?

DustSupp Posted March 16, 2010 Share This guy asked for it when he opened the batting by specifying he is driving an SUV. I don't give a f@ck if he is driving a segway or an 18 wheeler - we all have equal right of way. The implication is' date=' I'm in a big-ass car so be careful how you drive around me. And flexing his cycling smarts by saying he got 'switched' is pretentious and pathetic.[/quote'] So you cant afford one then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As cyclists we go on how we will just shake our head and accept people cycling like idiots, but let a car drive like an idiot. My word, then we run to get the pitch forks and burn the people at the stake! Hypocritical! Guess what buddy, when cars drive like idiots it's a deadly weapon that is out of control. When cyclists cycle like idiots they are setting themselves up to get squashed first with a very small outside chance of some collateral damage. The majority of cyclists who ride on the road on a regular basis, and particularly without a big bunch, in cities and for commuting purposes are VERY careful about how they ride purely out of a sense of self-preservation. I'm getting the feeling that some people on The Hub really don't understand that perspective. For most of the world cycling is not all about about dressing up in lycra and heading to the funride.

Point exactly, everyones assuming that the guy in the SUV is wrong, because he drives one. Got nothing to do with the story (what he drives) the cyclist switched him, the point he is trying to make.

If is has nothing to do with the story what he drives why does he mention it? SUV's are maybe large but it is NO excuse for not seeing someone, they have a better view than most people in cars....so I do no see why mention you drive a SUV? And I still do not believe the cyclist was wrong....drivers are idiots...as hardiman said...and as other people on this forum have proofed lately....drivers do not care about cyclists....

Lucky Luke. Posted March 16, 2010 Share Dont crucify the guy for driving a SUV. There are lots of SUV forums where you will find support for your cause. You guys can all go jerk each other off over there about what you can and cannot afford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You dont drive then. I used to drive for a living in one of the biggest cities in the world. Not all drivers are idiots, but there's definite room for improvement, and for cyclists too.. only difference is the stakes are higher for us.
