    This is what a cockstained post looks like. Try not to be a douchebag.
    You might try following your own advice for a change. Living in a glass house, one should not throw stones.

    The original meme (not posted by me) regarding a car and bicycles was clearly posted in jest and was no more a call to violence than Trump's speech was a call to violence in the capitol incident.

    You and B need to "lighten up Frances." Don't be so easily triggered (e.g., don't act like a liberal).

    The meme may have been posted jest, but from the perspective of some, considering their experiences personally that come eerily similar to the meme, could be at the very least, in very poor taste. That doesn't make someone saying that the meme was somewhat disturbing to them a liberal.

    Nah. I don’t need to say it. You know what you are.

    Gunz are icky.
    Sometimes it is difficult to feel empathy for bicyclists.
    They're well known for pulling dick moves.

    Just yesterday I damn near ran over a retard that was deliberately forcing himself into traffic.
    He was going the wrong way down a divided road.
    Never mind there WAS a nice 8ft wide bike path over on the other side of the road. BY GOD he was gonna cross right there! Traffic be damned.
    Heaven forbid he go down a few hundred yards and cross at the crosswalk at the red light.
    The best part? He was crossing from the bike path side to the undeveloped side, which due to the massive rains is now an overgrown swamp. How the F was he going to ride in that mess?

    Out where my folks live is a twisty curvy Farm to Market road the bicyclists LOVE to ride on. It is a narrow country road so it has no shoulders and no passing areas. These large groups of cyclists will get lined out in a line sometimes over a quarter mile long, slowly moving down the road. If you come up behind them in your car you're sh*t out of luck. They will not get out of the way and since they're so strung out you can't pass them safely due to the blind curves and hills. You're just fvckin' stuck behind them for miles. This is a violation in my opinion because they are severely impeding traffic.

    Where are you in Texas that has miles of bike trails? Houston is the only place I can think of, but they don’t actually go anywhere.
    Honestly, the amount of vitriol that some of y’all spew about cyclists sounds a lot like the anti gun pukes condemning the 99.9999% of gun owners that did not commit a murder today because of the .0001% that did.
    I wish more cities in Texas were set up like Lincoln, Nebraska in the way of bike trails.
    There is a system of paved trails that will take you almost anywhere in the city as well as a pretty good chunk of the state, as opposed to a couple of dedicated path/trails and a 3 mile track that you have to drive to to ride on( Austin).
    Hoji, The Woodlands has miles of hiking/biking trails that I paid for with way too high taxes. Some people - including me - use them. We also have a whole bunch of people who dress up in their Lance Armstrong tights and think that everyone else needs to get off the streets and let them ride. They will not use the trails. They go through red lights, stop signs, cut between stopped cars, etc. Honestly, I don't want to see anyone hurt, but they're the ones who put themselves in harm's way, not the normal drivers. A bicycle is no match for a car or a truck. There's no race area set up for the bikes, so I understand they might be frustrated. But they can't swing into traffic and expect to turn the streets into their own personal track. It's not a 0.0001% group that causes the problem. It's a lot larger group and they're all adults. (The kids are smarter.)

    SAT has the Howard Peak Greenway Trails system that fairly well circumnavigates the city but it’s not a great way to navigate the city.

    As though the two complainers have never done similar in regard to very poor taste?

    Does the story ever go into detail? Was she completely consumed, bitten, or maybe some part torn off. This is a misleading title. What really happened to her?

    Most of the "bike trails" and "bike lanes" are set up for a grandma who wants to do 3 or 5 miles on her cruiser bike and they are less safe for someone actually riding any kind of fast, and they rarely are efficient for getting somewhere.

    Some riders are dicks with the way they ride, but some drivers are dicks with how they drive lumping all riders or all driver into one monolithic colossus is a fallacy and will lead to errors in behavior.

    Out here by the lake!
    Us whities didn't come from a continent where every damn thing was trying to murder us 24/7. Lions. Tigers. Wild boar. Big snakes. Rhinos. Apes. Gorillas. Monkeys. Elephants. Hyenas. Dogs. Other tribes. Bugs of all varieties. Its ingrained in your DNA to stay the hell away from anything with more than two legs unless ya'll have a bigass weapon at the ready to kill whatever it is tryin' to kill you first. Us pale skins came from a place where the biggest concerns about what wanted to eat us were big wild dogs and lusty chubby wimmen in tight fittin' corsets.
    Ain’t no tigers in Africa!

    I've read what Dobie wrote about him... as with most J Frank Dobie, not really sure how true it is, but they are great tales.

    Not funny.

    This kind of rhetoric excuses, normalizes and even encourages illegal, harmful, hurtful and dangerous actions towards a group because of the actions or perceived actions of an individual and is just disgusting (and sure doesn't seem to jive with you having a bible verse on your profile...). You posting that pic is about as sad as hearing antifa screaming at me they wish Micah Johnson had been able to kill more police in Dallas.
    Of all the tasteless humor spread around here I’m a bit “paused” by your response. Although this is important to YOU soooo . Strong accusations there chief. I’m sure anyone who lost a friend to a bear would say the same about the rest of the comments here.
