If I need to to make sure someone isn't passing unsafely? Yes.

Your 'hurry' doesn't trump my life

You value the right of way more than your life. Brilliant.

Not the first time I've heard the passing safely excuse. Another popular one is, "I run redlights and stop signs because it's safer than stopping and taking longer to cross the intersection." "I don't use the bike trails because pedestrians slow me down." Oh, the irony.
 
I was driving down a similar canyon last summer in a semi. A 50mph blind curve with no shoulder (the kind where a semi is going to use most if not all of it's lane). The cyclist gave me the finger because he didn't like how close I got to him to avoid killing some campers going the opposite direction. He's lucky I had the luxury of just crowding him. I almost had to make a split second decision he wouldn't have liked.

Entire family > cyclist
He wouldn't have liked it, you wouldn't have liked it. Considering his legal right to use the road. You would have been at fault for running him over.

You sound like trucktard. Part of your lane being obstructed does not give you the right away in the other lane. The corner being to tight to take at current speed means you need to slow fuck the down, and not use all the lanes.

Stop being logical. The cagers can't stand that.

A bicycle/cyclist is considered a vehicle. You can't pass till its safe. Period. ...and yes, if I see that there's an unsafe spot coming, I'll move left till I'm darn near on the DY till I can see its safe to pass. I've had people trying to pass at crests of hills or into blind corners when I don't, only for them to realize that 'OMG there's a car coming!' as they're in the other lane. Thankfully, I haven't seen anyone have a head-on because of their stupidity, but there's time yet in life.

...and no. I'M not 'causing it.' I don't have control over the cagers' steering wheels or pedals. THEY'RE the ones making the bad decision to drive stupidly.

Do us all a favor and pull your heads outta your asses and think about the potential problems passing someone on a bicycle could cause. I doubt the cops will let you off from causing a head-on crash 'because there was a cyclist 'in my way.''

But none of y'all will and we'll have to put up with the stupidity again, and again, and...

I stay out of a train's way, cause I know that it could crush me like a tin can. I think cyclists should treat cars and trucks the same way.... instead, it's like they feel entitled to force vehicles to go 10-30mph BELOW the speed limit. How would you like to have to stay behind groups of pedestrians walking, and go at their pace for several miles? I guarantee you wear spandex, and bag your own shit.🖕
uh huh. False analogy Trains can't steer or slow down quickly.

Imagine a semi-truck driving around you like you say you do around cyclists. How do you think that would make *you* feel? Something that big threatening you on the highway? Yeah, you'd react like your life's in danger too.

I've BTDT behind pedestrians on the bike. I've BTDT behind a group ride in a car. Nothing changes: wait till its safe and pass carefully. I don't see the issue.

All y'all complaining about cyclists are like never Trumpers with your irrational hatred. Constantly amazes me.

M
 
I have witnessed Cyclists, bikers, truckers, and motorists all driving or riding like inconsiderate fags. Hell, I think I even saw a plane flying like fag once or twice. {not gay fags} Hate the fag, not the vehicle..:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Spoken just like every other entitled POS bicycle "rider" that only cares about themselves.
Let me guess, you don't want to ride on bike / multi use trails because having to stop for pedestrians and slow down would be so hard on you...

You can call your bicycle a "vehicle" when you have to pay road taxes on it, registration taxes on it, have a licence to ride it and get tickets for all your stupidity and blocking the roads.

Bicyclists are a great symbol of what is wrong with this country. The least productive, least useful, least important feeling empowered to block everyone else, take up everyone else's time and make everybody else have to work hard to accommodate their selfishness. Oh and if their own stupidity and selfishness causes an accident, they don't care, they feel entitled to be an ass because their virtue signalling is the most important thing in the world.
 
If bikes are vehicles with the same rights why do they pass on the right when cars are stopped in traffic?
I had one stop at my right rear fender because there wasn't enough room to go by on the right. He thought it was a good idea to hang onto the left rear corner of my bed rail until the light changed to green. A simple pop of the clutch dropped him on his ass.
If the same rules apply he hit my truck.

you don't think any of us own cars too? We're out NOT causing damage to the roads and still paying for our cars, homes, etc

Next stupid argument

'Entitled' huh? *Who* is the one whining about being held up?

Its legal to pass on the right on a bicycle. Look it up. Here's VA:

§ 46.2-907. Overtaking and passing vehicles.​

A person riding a bicycle, electric personal assistive mobility device, electric power-assisted bicycle, motorized skateboard or foot-scooter, or moped may overtake and pass another vehicle on either the left or right side, staying in the same lane as the overtaken vehicle, or changing to a different lane, or riding off the roadway as necessary to pass with safety.
A person riding a bicycle, electric personal assistive mobility device, electric power-assisted bicycle, motorized skateboard or foot-scooter, or moped may overtake and pass another vehicle only under conditions that permit the movement to be made with safety.
A person riding a bicycle, electric personal assistive mobility device, electric power-assisted bicycle, motorized skateboard or foot-scooter, or moped shall not travel between two lanes of traffic moving in the same direction, except where one lane is a separate turn lane or a mandatory turn lane.
Except as otherwise provided in this section, a person riding a bicycle, electric personal assistive mobility device, electric power-assisted bicycle, motorized skateboard or foot-scooter, or moped shall comply with all rules applicable to the driver of a motor vehicle when overtaking and passing.

So let me get this straight: you're equating a guy touching your bed rail to hitting your truck? How precisely does that make sense?

edited to add: its fun poking holes in all y'all's stupid arguments. Keep it up. Too bad none of y'all will listen like the people with TDS won't listen

So, you believe this gives you the right to pass vehicles stopped at a traffic signal? Guess you want to get ahead of the people who already had to accommodate you so you can piss them off again?!!😎

I'm not 'trying to get ahead' of anyone, but if you mean 'make it thru the light so I don't stand there sucking exhaust fumes?' you'd be right.

I'm not trying to piss anyone off. All I'm trying to do is go for a ride. Your attitude is your problem.

Next stupid claim? This is fun. Keep it up

Start a new thread where you bike fags can circle jerk each other. This shit is not motivational at all.

Hopefully one day karma bites you properly in the ass for your selfishness and one of your fancy pants "rides" gets stuck the entire time behind a big group of slow walking old people and you can't pick another way and you have to just be stuck behind them for an hour or so. That would serve you right.
But I bet you still wouldn't learn about how your selfishness is inconsiderate and inconvenient to others, because... virtue signalling.
 

The Donkey, Tiger and Lion Lesson​

Grass is Blue?
The donkey told the tiger, “The grass is blue.”
The tiger replied, “No, the grass is green.”
The discussion became heated, and the two decided to submit the issue to arbitration, so they approached the lion.
As they approached the lion on his throne, the donkey started screaming: ′′Your Highness, isn’t it true that the grass is blue?”
The lion replied: “If you believe it is true, the grass is blue.”
The donkey rushed forward and continued: ′′The tiger disagrees with me, contradicts me and annoys me. Please punish him.”
The king then declared: ′′The tiger will be punished with 3 days of silence.”
The donkey jumped with joy and went on his way, content and repeating ′′The grass is blue, the grass is blue…”


The tiger asked the lion, “Your Majesty, why have you punished me, after all, the grass is green?”
The lion replied, ′′You’ve known and seen the grass is green.”
The tiger asked, ′′So why do you punish me?”
The lion replied, “That has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green. The punishment is because it is degrading for a brave, intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with an ass, and on top of that, you came and bothered me with that question just to validate something you already knew was true!”
The biggest waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who doesn’t care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on discussions that make no sense. There are people who, for all the evidence presented to them, do not have the ability to understand. Others who are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and the only thing that they want is to be right even if they aren’t.
 
Hopefully one day karma bites you properly in the ass for your selfishness and one of your fancy pants "rides" gets stuck the entire time behind a big group of slow walking old people and you can't pick another way and you have to just be stuck behind them for an hour or so.

You go Karen! Told me!

Congrats on not comprehending that my life means more to me than your convenience.

and also congrats on not being able to drive if you can't manage to pass a cyclist safely in less than a minute.

ALL the 'cyclists in my way!' arguments are mountains out of molehills. When's the last time you encountered a cyclist much less had to slow down? When's the last time someone pulled in front of you in traffic and went slow? Turned left in front of you and 'made you slam on your brakes?' When's the last time someone stopped to turn left in front of you?

All those traffic problems happen a lot more than encountering any cyclist than you're ever going to meet, but you don't freak out about them. Why is that?

If you can ride your bike on the shoulder, gutter, or sidewalk to get to the head of the line at a traffic signal/stop sign, then you can ride there all the fucking time. Not all of us live close enough to work to ride a bike, and you are interfering with traffic when you do, and it wouldn't matter if you were in a car. Just damned inconsiderate to every other human you meet. That's why I stopped riding on the roads and went to riding trails/bike paths, because I didn't want to be a selfish dickhead in other people's way.

We also ride a UTV on the paved road out in the country. If someone overtakes, we immediately pull off on the shoulder for the same reasons, and were going 40+, not 10.

I bet you yell at Grandma every time she's driving 20 in a 45 and you get stuck behind her in a car. Why is that different?
