I love how people get themselves off by going into these forums and starting crap. The question this person asked is just the right question to get a reaction of the bicycle culture that would normally answer questions in the bike section. That would be like someone getting on a pro-life message board talkin about killin fetus'. Its dumb, its a waste of time, and quite frankly its pathetic. Go outside and do something. Go for a walk, read a book, exercise, meet some new people. There are plenty of better things to do then start crap on an internet Q&A forum.

There are several rational answers here. Steve c and PK, addressed the taxes. We all pay taxes as we all work and drive as well. So, I'm waiting for my tax refund, for the times I'm not driving. While there are a few bad cyclist, there are far more bad drivers. Ask yourself this - when was the last time you were speeding? I'd say - it was the last time you drove - I'm right aren't I? Are you the same driver that just cut off the truck trying to change lanes? Sure you are. Are you that driver that does 40 mph though my sub where kids are riding and playing? I bet you are. It can't even be measured how much worse drivers are than cyclists.

Your question is a rave and isn't based in common sense at all. You had to slow down for a few seconds because of a cyclist today is all. The answers too, that claim the tax issue, how ignorant can you be? The rant you made this day you make every day about other drivers - chew on that, as you look at yourself for being so foolish.

EDIT: Silver, I'll expand on your answer. I'd like to band drivers too that don't follow code. The streets will be empty and bikes will be the only transportation left. Since I know I must have been speeding the last time I drove, I'd be without a car too!

EDIT: Clint, you are right, I usually refrain from replying to "the bait" but I was bored...

I think they should ban questions written in English so poor we can't read it.

Yeah this is the kind of weirdo that adds no value to any discussion, just likes to feign some type of significant problem because of his personal irritation on some certain day.

Lacks the ability to handle any frustration, Frequently cuts in line but complains when anyone else ever does.

Same type of person that asks "why are women bad drivers?" " Why do minorities xxx yyyyh zzz?" or "should group jjjj be shot?"

Has no avenue for a fun or satisfying life without the anonymous needling of other groups of people.

The real problem is HIS lack of education or understanding of even SLIGHTLY sophisticated or complex thought. Has problems with some basic concepts of society.

Yeah, real deserving of thorough explanations here.
