Why the hate for Cyclists?

[singlesix]

Oh. I thought it wasn't functioning properly. I didn't have any ads.

I should have used Brave Brower.

That's what I use.

The cyclist I know I assume are on HOA boards

I just got back from a trip to California and the cyclists are a P.I.A. of the first order. They think they own the road despite the fact that they are on a bike and a 1.5 to 2 ton+ vehicle is bearing down on them and they don't move over even if they have all the room in the world. They don't care if there is a narrow road or tons of traffic. It is almost like they dare you to get close to them.
I'm sure some of them have been turned into road pizzas over the years maybe even with pineapple on top of them.

People hate Californians even when they *aren't* cyclists...

I hesitate to think what the sheer number of vegan crossfitting Californian cyclists must be. God help us all.

Maybe the site just doesn't work well with ad blockers.

No, it worked fine for me. Singlesix mostly just didn't like its presentation.

It is jarring. But for Lawrence County, it is pretty much the go-to source for news.

Dare you to try it with ad blockers off

I do love my Brave browser. I don't even have to do anything and it blocks the ads for me.

The ads on this site are pretty tame compared to some sites’ ads. Some (I wish I could think of one off the top of my head) are so aggressive it makes the site unreadable.

NSFW language.

Letters: Cyclists ride roughshod with little regard for anyone else

At what point will bicycle riders be held accountable for their actions?

Maybe its time for a "Why do Cyclists hate Pedestrians?" thread. I will let mike do the honors though as I think he has a patent on threads with such indepth penetrating questions.

Whoever decided to have a road bike event on Southport Rd this weekend while 465 is partially closed, way to bolster stereotypes. It was like a bead necklace. Bead of cyclists, string of cars, bead of cyclists, string of cars.

It is the Rain ride (Ride Across IN) and today was the 36th year for the event that rides from Terre Haute to Richmond mostly along 40. They probably had 400 riders. My understanding is the route taken was the route the powers that be wanted instead of crossing downtown. So they should cancel a 36 year event crossing the state for 465 closures?

RAIN: One Day - One Way - 160 Miles! - RAIN - Ride Across Indiana

RAIN is an annual one-day bicycle ride across Indiana that is in its 34th year. The 160-mile course runs from West Terre Haute to Richmond, following the Historic National Road (US 40) for much of the way.
