No wonder you have such a bad attitude... you really should stop hanging around with all those hot shit speed demons. You would get more sleep, be less grumpy and standoffish, and not have to resort to stealing pureed foodstuffs from invalids at your local hospital.
As a bicyclist nothing makes me happier than a mad driver. I know it's petty, but seeing someone hidden behind their windshield, making angry faces, mouthing curse words and make bombastic, dramatic gestures with their arms for me to go = PRICELESS. And when they roll the window down to yell at me after I've started riding again I simply apply my big fake smile with eyes straight forward, give a big sarcastic thumbs up and ride on.. it's the champagne of bike victories.
"I will not fully brake for you, you will get hit, and it will be ALL YOUR FAULT"
Actually, it will be your fault, as you have demonstrated intent to hit said hypothetical bike rider. Doesn't matter because you know you're gonna continue to brake your ass off for these bikes.
Here's an inquiry for you anon. Have you always been a complete dickbag who threatens people who annoy you with personal injury, or is this something that you picked up during your time in your fraternity/the military/prison? (choose whichever one is most applicable)
You aren't going to hit anyone. You won't "clip this rant to your chart" because there aren't charts anymore. Tho I do think you need morphine. A whole fucking bunch of it at once.
Fuck off, I share your frustration as someone who commutes by bike and almost daily encounter people who lack the common sense to follow the basic rules of the road and rights of way with regard to traffic control devices.
Although your rant is uncouth, it is legitimate and you are careful to distinguish between someone crossing in a crosswalk that you have to stop for and some asshole on a bike waiting in the roadway at an intersection (or the abomination of a traffic management design that is NE 33rd and Going) who think that rights of way simply don't apply to them.
If a cyclist is in a crosswalk it does not matter if they are walking the bike or riding it as long as they are going at less than a walking pace they have the right of way the moment any part of their wheel enters the street and you are legally required to stop if it is safe to do so. They may be inching forward because you don't seem to be slowing down and they are concerned that you are going to hit them, but if you do hit them in this situation it will be your fault legally.
Fuckers.
