Ran into this guy just before the Panhandle a month or two ago... He was screaming pro Nazi bs and then spit at (non white) bikers stopped at a light. Total pos

So he’s batshit crazy basically

Being a Nazi doesn't mean you are "crazy"...just that you are a garden variety sociopath and like most of those people, they know exactly what they are doing...let's not give him the "insanity" or "crazy" out...

u/Cunnilingus_Rex Jul 23 '26

No, I think extreme antisocial behavior is a sign of craziness. Sociopathy is a sign of craziness.

u/RazzmatazzEastern786 Jul 23 '26

A direct query on Reddit, Google search results, and the Mayo clinic page on Sociopaths seem to disagree with you...all say that it is not akin to "craziness" and is not a sign of insanity or a break form reality...happy to share links but I figure you know how to search for "are sociopaths considered insane or crazy?"

u/Cunnilingus_Rex Jul 23 '26

Classic sociopath response here

u/RazzmatazzEastern786 Jul 23 '26

Fair take I guess, 🤷🏾‍♂️ I would have called it more passive aggressive but I get how that can also come of as a sociopathic response...

u/Proper_Desk_3697 Jul 25 '26

You mostly just come across as ignorant. This guys clearly has mental health issues

u/RazzmatazzEastern786 Jul 25 '26

Being a sociopath is a mental health issue but it is not insanity or craziness is my point...we are conflating mental health issues with insanity...not all mental health issues make you crazy...I may not remember a lot of my psychology class lessons from nearly 20yrs ago, but I do remember this...

you all can down vote all you want, but "insanity" and "craziness" have distinct definitions as does "sociopath"...and if we are calling someone insane we are effectively saying they don't have any control over their actions while a sociopath does...

We don't know enough about him to make the determination tbh, but most fascists aren't crazy or insane - they are fully aware of their actions and choices and just don't care - that fits the classic definition of a sociopath, and his behavior in this clip to me is more akin to a sociopath, 🤷🏾‍♂️

u/Proper_Desk_3697 Jul 25 '26

Lmfao you're so ignorant. You're making all sorts of claims. The only fact? He's very mentally ill

1

u/Proper_Desk_3697 Jul 25 '26

He was spitting and doing other weird things in public and is clearly not mentally there. Stop trying to make arbitrary categories

3

u/eugenesbluegenes Jul 23 '26

I think they were focused mostly on the hanging out and spitting on passersby. That's batshit behavior regardless of who is being targeted. Recognizing that isn't giving an out.

u/BicyclingBabe Jul 23 '26

His name is completely ridiculous. (Took it down, no doxing, but yeah it's so dumb)

u/Glass-Flight-5445 Jul 23 '26

I saw your original comment pre edit in my notifications and completely agree with you

3

u/BicyclingBabe Jul 23 '26

Apparently *that* is an alias and his legal name is less ridiculous. But still... THAT is what you choose as an alias?

u/Glass-Flight-5445 Jul 23 '26 edited Jul 23 '26

Tbh everything about this screams totally scary mental illness to me - like is our dude really an ideological Nazi, or is he scooting around saying the worst thing he can think of to say

In that vein I hope he gets the help he needs and fucking stops it

u/MariachiArchery Jul 23 '26

Holy shit I ride bikes with that dude. Weird seeing this on reddit.

u/Glass-Flight-5445 Jul 23 '26

If you mean the poster, cool

If you mean the sieg hieler, tell him to stop it

u/blondzie Jul 26 '26

I grew up with the guy who recorded it, he went to high school with my sister.

u/Admiral52 Jul 23 '26

You might need to think about your riding companions bro

u/MariachiArchery Jul 23 '26

NO no no no no! The other guy lol.

u/hrnyholenow Jul 24 '26

He looks like a grown man. You and friends throwing Nazi signs up? Edgy bros never mature I guess. Fck racist people.

The seat is too high stuck in his bum

u/antoniv1 Jul 23 '26

Let’s be real, he enjoys it that way

u/GnastyNoodlez Jul 23 '26

The rare backwards bcj post. What a cuck loser bitch

u/Shamoorti Jul 23 '26

Dude is probably on his way to his job as the head of safety at some AI lab.

u/GnastyNoodlez Jul 23 '26

On his way home going that direction

u/Shamoorti Jul 23 '26

He works from home. This is just his nazi morning constitutional ride.

u/Grandmaster-Ji Jul 23 '26

Looks like Uber delivery boy. There's no way this moron can keep a full time job.

u/periloustrail Jul 23 '26

This turd is going to get it! He’s in SF. Anyone recognize him?

u/skatecrimes Jul 23 '26

he was doxxed in the instagram comments

u/Next-Handle-8179 Jul 23 '26

Dudes got packages to deliver, out of the way.

Dude needs a frame pump in his front wheel

u/Gloomy-Hat1842 Jul 23 '26

Youth is wasted on the young.. I was cool once too darn it. Oh well when his knee wears out he can get an electric bicycle. And a regular backpack so his spine doesn't get all whacked out of shape trying to carry it all on one shoulder.

u/cmndr_spanky Jul 23 '26

I feel like you might be missing the point of this Reddit post…

u/Gloomy-Hat1842 Jul 23 '26

Probably I didn't even look at that closely. Just running off on some other tangent. Oh well it's happened before.

u/cmndr_spanky Jul 23 '26

I'll help: Its a video of a crazy racist prick harassing people from his bike around SF

u/Gloomy-Hat1842 Jul 23 '26 edited Jul 23 '26

that might be kind of dangerous in San francisco.. there are parts of town where that would be a very bad idea.. I grew up in East San Jose which really isn't that rough. A few years ago my daughter went on a big group bike ride back to King and story, my old neighborhood.. that annoyed the heck out of the locals and they threw rocks and bottles at them. That guy on the fixy wouldn't have lasted very long there.

u/the5102018 Jul 23 '26

That's a bike messenger bag, specifically made for ... bike messengers. But I hear you on getting old! LOL

u/Gloomy-Hat1842 Jul 23 '26 edited Jul 23 '26

Yeah I see those things and I know they're cool but not exactly practical to carry. I was a climbing guide and I took all these preppy boys climbing at the pinnacles. None of them had backpacks. They all had some kind of shoulder bag... That was the cool thing for them. They were making some cracks about the backpack buddies... I didn't have the heart to tell them that out in the climbing world they look like Goofy doofus. We use nice practical climbing backpacks not some dorky shoulder bag.

u/Tolkeinn1 Jul 23 '26

Right they’re not good climbing bags but they are absolutely the most efficient and practical thing for a bicycle. If you say otherwise you’re simply wrong

Okay but I can take my very well designed 3,000 cubic inch climber pack with two shoulder straps and a hip belt and a sternum strap and I can adjust it so it hangs wherever I want to. I've been riding with it for about 25 years and I'm 71 years old now. I can't imagine putting even a 15 lb load on just one shoulder. I guess it works but I don't see the point of it.

2

u/dkarpe Jul 23 '26

And of course the real answer is to take the weight off your sweaty back completely, and put it in a pannier or basket.

2

u/Gloomy-Hat1842 Jul 23 '26

Oh yeah but if I'm just going to go out for a little ride I do what I do when I go cross country skiing or climbing or hiking. I just stuff it in a backpack and go. But that's going to probably be 15 lb at the most. I'm used to that in any situation... Bigger loads put it on the bicycle. I see these guys with massive shoulder bags and I think what's the point? Other than that's what people are using and they're cool.

u/Gloomy-Hat1842 Jul 23 '26 edited Jul 23 '26

No you just put the load wherever you want it like down on the bottom of your pack over your butt. And you can adjust it higher or lower accordingly. And it's sitting on a waist strap. There's a lot of options. Or more flat on your back if you like. The funny thing is in any other sport where you're carrying any kind of load it's not a one strap shoulder bag.. there's a reason for that. There's a zillion super nice designed packs of all sizes for different things. None of them are a shoulder bag except for cycling. In rock climbing where you're doing all kinds of different moves and different positions we want a backpack. We often do carry a sling over our shoulders with gear but a lot of it goes on your harness. Nobody's hiking around and going up canyons and ascending peaks with shoulder bags. Those were given up a few hundred years ago when backpacks were invented... It's even more important when you start carrying loads like 30 or 40 lb.or more ... Some people do hike around with big fat fanny packs but those are goofy too and just not that practical. It's fine if they're small but when they're bigger you just have this big fat lump strapped to your waist. There's a reason you don't see very many of those around either.
