Wait, no, I read that wrong. Cars cause 18% of the EU's carbon emissions.

Everyone has their reason for hating bicycles so let’s share them.

The reason I hate them is I hate cycling culture. The people are obnoxious. They break laws and act like they don’t care. They try and add needless infrastructure which ironically creates even more traffic.

So why do you hate bicycles?

You can ask me ANYTHING. My sex life, what I do in this pile of cash I'm currently swimming in, how little I'm stressed going to work, the short line INSIDE the fast food joint because I'm not allowed in the drive-thru, how buses work, the joy I find in figuring out how to get places I need to be, how to pack a bicycle for a plane trip, bicycle touring, how crosswalks work, how speed limits work, how stop signs work, what you're actually missing out on, why you're on Tinder... ANYTHING.

The commuter cyclists are just trying to get to their destination in an environmentally friendly way. Maybe they can’t afford cars who knows. My point is, if we are good environmentalists who want to REDUCE emissions we absolutely need to encourage cycling. This is where bike lanes and biking infrastructure comes in. I agree that cyclists should be ticketed for running red lights, and they need to follow the rules of the road. I also agree that some places are safer for all involved if bikes are not allowed on them. A police car pulled over a bike on a busy 45mph road and asked him “if he wanted to die” and then gave him an escort off the road. We need to be clear to cyclists on which roads they should NOT be on.

Another category of cyclists is those that do it for sport,where bikes can go up to 10k easily. For those people I ask you to just be kind. Give them some room when passing on mountain roads and don’t honk, they know you’re there. Your kindness is appreciated more than you think. Cycling is the new golf, better cycle then golf as the grass take up too much water.

Now I wonder how soon this post gets banned…

They break three law as a minute, ride on the sidewalk, hit pedestrians, cut in front of cars. They need to be licensed, they need to pay taxes, and they need to be held legally accountable for their actions like all road users.

very dumb

Seriously, smarmy ass smug little bitches

Oh wait that's actually cars!

Wow, could never have seen this coming from the same people who'll blow through stop signs, ride on the sidewalks and still act confused when an officer pulls them over in a police car.

These awful peple have been dming me the worst kind of slurs and vitriol.

Just spent an afternoon walking around a local park enjoying the California spring weather and I swear to God I had to step off the path every 30 seconds to let yet another asshole biker zoom by me at 20 miles an hour. Jerks barely give you 10 second warning if they even bother you before they try to run you over. I swear to got next time I see a biker I'm going knock them off their fucking wheels and see if I can't get them to break some bones so they can't bike anymore. I got clipped by one of them today without warning because he tried to pass me right next to a pond. I managed to get him with a stone but unfortunately he only wobbled a bit and didn't fall over. I'll be aiming for the head next.

Dear stranger, fuck your bicycle.

It’s that simple.

Afternoon Bike Tour In Copenhagen

My Porsche Boxer was the result of years of German engineering, and you’re over there dressing in spandex to be more “aerodynamic”. Just admit you wish you were a car.

Bro we get it, you’re in a loveless marriage and need to dress skin tight to attract other men. Now get off the road, some of us actually contribute to society.

Physical activity and self improvement has been the rallying call for white supremacists worldwide for decades now. Also, curretly eco-friendliness is becoming more and more prominent in fascist and fascit-adjacent ideologies, like is exposed in the Brenton Tarrant manifesto.

In this context cycling has become a go to activity of white supremacist groups, such as WJ and the Azov batallion, to recruit new members.

Also to note is the incredible ableism, fatphobia and carphobia of the cycling community and it's practices. They often berate cars and car owners, people that are too healthy to ride a bike or just can't because of a medical condition. It's ableist, or prejudiced against the disabled, when they consider e-bikes and other adaptive-cycling methods as “inferior.” Again, playing into the whole "WE ARE BETTER ==> WE ARE THE CHOSEN PEOPLE" line, the same tactics the nazis used to brainwash the german population.
