share the road

I'm just writting this message to remind everyone that they must share the road with cyclists!!!!! I was riding this morning when a car drove up from behind me and turned left infront of me, It clipped me as it went round and knocked me off my bike (not too injured but lots of grazing, sore!). I don't know how you could do this without noticing! The idiot drove off without stopping (He must of noticed cos when you hit a cyclist they tend to make bang noises on the car). It was a silver sedan and I didn't get a good look at it (cos it came up from behind me).

So I write this to remind every one to be carefull when cyclists are around, I am only cut and bruised but cyclists can be seriously hurt by poor drivers.

p.s while your at it when you hit a cyclist you should STOP!

bitches. i stopped biking now that they make you bike on the road. i mean, its not like you are going to hurt a pedestiran badly IF you run into them on the sidewalk.

things like this make me much angrier than you seem to be.

Motorcycles too guys...Dont go being ******** to them either . I ride one .

Although, I will admit, Im an ******* to them when they abuse the privlage of the bike. As in, thos ******* that shoot up the shoulder while you have to sit in traffic cause theyre too good to wait. Or the ones who dart in and outta traffic just to get a mile up the road. The ones who ride up the yellow line when traffic is stopped, etc. When I see bikes pulling that shoulder ****, I pull off the road in front of them. Tell me, whose fault would it be if they ran into my car on the shoulder? The guy who was using the shoulder for an "emergency stop", or the guy who was illegally riding up the shoulder? I know this is a bad attitude, but I think Im entitled to it seeing as I ride a bike also, and I follow the laws just like everyone in a car. I dont think its fair when bikes do that ****. Maybe Im oversensative about it, I dunno.
