What’s your issue black eye-glassed, blue-biked, bird-brained, bad-mouthed, felonious femme on two wheels? Were you secretly incubating a veliciraptor’s egg inside your womb? Was your heart flash-frozen down to the size of a pea on the viciously cold day? Or are you an entitlement Portlandia type, a furiously happy whack-a-do who’ rights are perpetually being trampled so you must feel compelled to demonstrate
an interminably annoying angst at every opportunity? Hmmm? Basically you looked so ridiculous to both us
and to some bystanders who were laughing uncontrollably on the sidewalk over your middle school antics. Did you derive a great deal of pleasure by insisting on hogging the entire road and hollering its the bike lane so it all belongs to me for a whole 2 and a half blocks and then hauling off and hitting my boyfriend through the window an kicking the car when he confronted you on your bullshit? You are lucky sweets, cuz if I had been in the driver seat I would have opened the car door and dented your blue bicycle and dented your pretty blue bicycle. Oh?! Yes, it would have been alright, you drew first blood. You give Portland weirdness a bad name bitch.
The Entire Street is Not a Flipping Bike Lane

Keep Portland Feared!
Was there snow and ice on the road? Riding through it sucks.
They slowed you down for two and a half blocks? Fuckin’n A. Maybe you should take over a federal building.
Riding a bike is part of Portland’s “weirdness”? Okay, Mr. Hat.
I can’t speak to the condition of the road, but still assert that ‘taking the lane’ is for childish assholes looking to start a fight. (hello Burns militia)
In other countries I’ve ridden in, with far more population density – Germany and Japan – no one else pulls this stupid shit.
There is a ballot measure ready for next year that will prove you wrong, IA.
Also, we are allowed to say “fuck” on hear but don’t let yourself get caught dead submitting a flipping post with a typo in it.

“A person is not in violation of the offense under this section if the person is not operating a bicycle as close as practicable to the right curb or edge of the roadway under any of the following circumstances:”
….
“(c) When reasonably necessary to avoid hazardous conditions including, but not limited to, fixed or moving objects, parked or moving vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, animals, surface hazards or other conditions that make continued operation along the right curb or edge unsafe or to avoid unsafe operation in a lane on the roadway that is too narrow for a bicycle and vehicle to travel safely side by side.”
Man you need to get off the ice.
You woulda really told her what’s what, eh I,A? Pussy.
You failed to mention what road. If it was a Greenway she is right, take the full lane on the Greenway, the speed limit should be 20.
Finally we’re back to bike rants! It’s like a breath of fresh air.
I can’t get over the grammar, spelling, and syntax errors.
If only there was a way for a car to catch up with a bicyclist, and I knew how to operate a car door, I would have whipped you to a fare-thee-well!”
In a whole lot of the world bicycles stay to the side of the lane so that faster traffic, even faster bikes and cars as well, can pass without a problem. Its called common courtesy. I’m constantly amazed at how many people demand courtesy from others while absolutely (and loudly) refusing to extend that same courtesy to others.
good rant. 🙂
