Yep and God gives them way to many chances to get away - LOL!!!In my area bicyclists of all ages...whoever...act as though they can do anything they want on a bike and laws don't apply to them. To ride at full speed across an intersection while in the crosswalk is typical. I had some a**hole recently approach a 4-way stop (where I had already come to a complete stop and was starting out) and it was obvious he had no intention of stopping. I went ahead and pulled out knowing full well that if he hit me at speed the proof would be incontrovertible that he did not obey the law and stop at the intersection. Well, he slammed on his brakes and veered around me in a panic, then had the nerve to give me the finger. Big mistake. I pulled a U-turn and took off after him. He saw that and started peddling for his life. Lucky bastard was able to make a light (almost running it red) and got away. People on bikes are all too often such a**holes.
I honked and waved as I passed just to be polite.
I sure know what you're saying TD - I sure know!!!!!

I for one think that story is a brilliant example of Darwinism... someone needs to teach these assholes on bikes the unwritten rules of the road.. he who has the most tonnage makes the rules....
Came down a hill and around a corner at 55, and the were three SOBs on bikes, strung across the damned road. I braked hard, cut my wheels, and by the grace of God didn't hit one of the stupid bastards or kill my family and myself by running off the road and into a boulder or oak tree.
and don't try to blame vehicles and drivers for your own stupidity.
So listen to youself. That means that whoever is bigger than you has the right to kick your butt? Why are you on a gun discussion board if you think the world is a free for all? That's the whole point of the right to self defense, the weak being made equal to those with more tonnage that want to do them harm. Yet you say it applies on the road?
So basically you were driving faster than your sight allowed and came upon something unexpected on the road. It was those damn cyclist fault. But what if it had been a cow or a horse or a broken down car. Would that have made it OK?
Pot... Kettle... Black.
