so your solution would be to pull all bikes off the roads because of crazy car drivers, despite bikes having as much right to be there as cars?

another fine example of walkonby logic.

your summary of walkonby's post was longer than his post! awesome!

:p

but i never claimed it was a summary… i was paraphrasing.

Why is it that we park in a driveway and drive on a parkway?

i try my hardest not to read the comments on washpost stories (but usually fail, goddamn willpower) … it's all exurban racists and trolls, immigration or crime stories are the worst

their political blogs are screaming out for some kind of moderated comments or commenter vetting system

ban cars in the city. keep them in the suburbs.

Dood, I just have to ask…why are you a bike commuter? The shit you describe doesn't exactly sound like a fun time.

The crappy part of this whole story is that it's reviving all of the drivers vs. bikers battles. The comment section on the Post's site has, naturally, descended into a pissing match and it is so depressing.

As someone who's been a daily bike commuter for years, I naturally fall on the side of the cyclists. Every morning and evening, I'm dodging motherfuckers who don't use their turn signals, don't look where they're going, drive in the bike lanes, pull sudden and immediate U-turns, throw open their car door without looking, and yell shit at me. (Anecdotal factoid: the vast majority of cars who drive like dicks and yell like dicks are SUVs from Maryland.) It's unreal, and I've stopped counting how many times I've avoided serious injury or death by inches.

The fact is, to survive as a bike commuter, you have to assume that every car is being driven by some dipshit who's not paying any attention at all. I am very quick to kick the hell out of any car that needs a good kicking, and you'd be surprised how many times it happens. It's kind of become like my morning coffee.

Right or wrong, driver or biker, this is a real sad story.

1) It's guaranteed exercise every day
2) Have you seen gas prices lately?
3) The faint scent of sweat and effort follows me around all day, intoxicating the lady-folk
4) Have you seen parking prices lately?
5) It takes 15 minutes to bike, 45 to drive
6) Have you seen my gams?
7) The metro has become a hassle
8) If I take the car, then the wife has no wheels
9) One less car on the road is good on several levels
10) I'm all man

relaxer: PWN of the day!

i was channeling you & your logic, i was running with your ban-all-bikes policy. i wasn't expressing my opinion/beliefs.

what you said makes no sense in logic. what i say does. you may not agree with it, but what i say is laced with intelligence, and a maze of turns for you to follow to the end of understanding. if it goes over your head, then go back to school and apply yourself.

and that's walkonby to you. if you can't spell, go back to school and apply yourself. oh wait, i already said that.

What's there to be scared about?…Like Obama the messiah said, Iran is just a little country.
