it stinks!

OKAY OKAY OKAY OKAY OKAY

I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE A SUPER COOL ASS CYCLIST AND I CAN'T CALL YOU "BIKER" OR WHATEVER
YOU GOTTA FOLLOW THE RULES OF THE ROAD TOO
NO YOUR LIVESTRONG BRACELET DOESN'T MEAN YOU GOT SPECIAL PRIVILEGES
THAT MEANS IF THE LIGHT IS RED AND THERE'S A WALK SIGNAL, YOU GOTTA STOP TOO
OTHERWISE PEOPLE YOU NEARLY RUN OVER AS THEY TRY TO LEGALLY CROSS THE STREET IN THE CROSSWALK SUCH AS CERTAIN PEOPLE NAMED SPATCH WILL LOUDLY DEMAND YOU PERFORM CERTAIN ANATOMICAL IMPOSSIBILITIES UPON YOUR PERSON
AND NO, YOUR MIDDLE FINGER DOES NOT MEAN "THANK YOU FOR POINTING OUT THE ERRORS OF MY WAYS"

i hate those guys. they make life so much worse for the rest of us. i nearly hit a few cyclists (while on my bike) who were also running a red (in a very weird and unpredictable way, to boot).

They're easier to knock over than you might think. You just gotta plant your feet firmly, drop your hips a bit, and shove hard on whatever part of their profile you make contact with.

Much as Livestrong is a neat idea, right now those bracelets serve a different purpose here in Vancouver: "warning: potential asshat."

On the other hand, PEDESTRIANS who cross against the light because I AM IN SUCH A HURRY AND OH LOOK NO CARS deserve to get run over by my bike.

Can we perhaps tack on a AND IF YOU'RE ON A BIKE AND OVER THE AGE OF TWELVE, GET THE FUCK OFF THE SIDEWALK to the admirable statement above?

Rarr, dammit, I hate that!

The bike situation has been getting worse in London just recently, because for some strange reason people have been shying away from the buses and Tube a little. I'm all for people using environmentally-friendly transport, as long as they obey the feckin' signals.

I hate them too. I hate that the law says they should ride in traffic with me and my car, dispite the fact that they can only go some measly slow mph. I HATE being stuck behind them, in their bad spandex.

Cycling lanes, anyone?
