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.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 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.
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?

Because they’re not on the hide talking about how entitled they are.
A lot of y'all need to look in the mirror before tossing out that 'entitled' argument. If your argument starts out with 'you're in my way' you are the problem not the cyclist(s)

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?

That you’re vaccinated seems like a safe bet.
I think you've touched on it. Around here, UTV's do not pull over or off the road for vehicles. There can be 20 in a row so that you can't pass in our rural area. I just follow along. The point is, there are inconsiderate people everywhere, in cars, trucks, UTV's, bikes, pedestrians and even amish buggies! Likewise, there are considerate people everywhere. We ride bike, and get over to the right as far as possible on our rural roads. Some pass us within 3 ft and some get over into the other lane. Most pass by without any event, some honk and yell for no reason. I get behind groups of bikers that take up the whole lane. Do they have the right? Sure, but they are still dicks in my opinion.

Sidewalks are illegal in most places.
Your assumption is that I'm being selfish when you're the one complaining about people in your way is completely ass-backwards. The self-centeredness of thinking everyone needs to get out of your way because you're driving there is astounding.
Do yourself a favor and read what you're saying and get back to us. All I'm seeing is the same stuff that comes from a 2-year old not getting their way.

Got a sudden urge for a trip around the Horn...
One ticket to Tierra Del Fuego please.
No need to get excited. It's a 50 mph truck speed limit zone, one lane each way, no shoulder on either side. I could not see the cyclist until I was closing on him at a high rate of speed. With the radius of that turn, to keep the trailer out of the opposing lane, my right steer tire needs to be near the white line on the right. The timing of all of it was horrible: Little space, short visibility, big speed differential, two lanes, three "vehicles". Physics decided the rest. I don't usually see cyclists in that area (there's tons of wrecks just between cars) and after I saw a bunch of cyclists last summer, I haven't seen any this year.
My guess is either the cyclists suffered heavy losses last year and decided against riding there or highway patrol got tired of cleaning up and told them go someplace else.
Just because you can doesn't mean you should. I still believe entire family > cyclist (I hope to God you agree with that part). To be honest, I didn't exactly enjoy being put in that position.
You read the part where I stated that I deliberately changed my behavior to avoid inconveniencing others, right? And because I used to ride on the road, I do everything possible to politely avoid cyclists when I do encounter them.
My issue is with the rude fuckers who will not move to the side even when they know it's causing traffic issues, but will dodge to the side in a heartbeat to pass a line of cars at an intersection, then immediately get back in the way. And even when it's illegal, they will use a sidewalk to do so.
What's the old saying. Being right isn't a shield of invincibility.
You put yourself in that position. You clearly know its a dangerous corner and obviously know pushing 50 through there is razor edge in your rig.
I agree you would proabaly get in less trouble if you killed the cyclist vs multiple people in the opposing lane. You sure wouldn't want them to find this post if it ever happened though. Yikes.
More T/A, less bike arguing. I’m guessing most of us are at a #3 listening to this crap (again and again and again…like every summer this crops back up).
Back on topic:

Everyone hold on. This dog is about to deliver prophecy. I can see it in his eyes. About cyclists on the road. The frog, well he is just living in the moment. Again, too many Joe Rogan podcasts.
It's not "razor edge". There was just enough room to accommodate the cyclist but apparently not quite enough if you asked him. I slowed down as much as possible given the time I had and I don't think anybody was technically breaking any laws including the cyclist. I didn't post anything I wouldn't tell the cops, it was just a sketchy situation all around. We all put ourselves in that situation and we all had a "right" to be there. I just didn't have the time and space to properly kiss his ass at the moment. I suggest starting a thread about the topic so we don't ruin the motivational pic thread.
Over and out.
Here's a horny toad I caught last year for everyone's viewing pleasure.
Dude, those things are so rare around here any longer. I love seeing them. When I was a kid we would catch them, flip them over and rub their bellies. They would be out in no time flat.
They are super chill. I think they mostly rely on camo. I almost ran him over until he scurried away.
If there's 'just enough room' it means there wasn't just enough room. As evidenced by the middle finger you got.
You're sitting there fat and happy in your steel safety cage with the temp just right knowing that if something happens, you're not likely to die and you think your actions are appropriate to the person that you're likely to kill if you hit them?
Let's put this into shooting terms: you're on the range minding your own business when another shooter gets on the line. They're not paying much attention to their muzzle discipline and flagging you with a loaded weapon. That doesn't affect them cause they're at the other end of the muzzle. What do you do? After all... it isn't their life in danger. You can certainly try and talk to them, but they're oblivious to the danger since it isn't them that's being flagged by a loaded weapon.
You guys driving like jackholes around cyclists is like flagging people on the line. Your life isn't in danger, but the cyclist's certainly is.
Try and remember that next time you encounter a cyclist.
Some of us are armed. Take that into consideration when you decide to get aggro around us.
