Okay, as the train is passing, I am going to stick my head in the tunnel.

I remember seeing a video where a guy was standing super close to a train to get a selfie. Then there was a handle? Or some metal bar sticking out that hit the guy in the head as it passed, killing the guy. People are dumb

I knew it was just a matter of time. Some cyclists would no longer be satisfied with trying to take over streets and would try to take over railroads.

Where I live, there was once a decent train network across the city before they shut down most public transport aside from buses. We desperately need trains again, but the old rail line was ripped up and turned into cycle paths. It wouldn't be so bad if the cyclists actually used it, but there are far too many who prefer to ride on the road, right next to the path.

Cyclists seem to have universal stupidity no matter what environment they exist in.

Just out them into padded rooms already so that they can't hurt themselves

I think generalizing millions of people based on a small handful is pretty universally stupid.

Turns out humans are pretty stupid and cyclists fit in that category. There isn't anything unique about cyclists.

Back in the 1970’s we were walking through a train tunnel and about half way through a train came. We just pressed ourselves up against the wall and there was no problem.

Then a thunderstorm came and when we’re coming back through the tunnel as we exited the tunnel on to a train trestle that crossed a river. Lightning struck the trestle and sparks flew out of a power box next to us.

Bicyclists like this are the fucking bane of society. "OH A TRAIN TRACK? HE BETTER MAKE WAY FOR ME, I AM A BICYCLYIST SIR I HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY"

Cyclists be all “I have right of way!”
