Radio host infuriates cyclists

I think that you'll find that there is no such thing as a "puncture-proof" tire. Some are better than others, though. Flats are just a part of cycling; always have and probably always will be.

LOL

[SGCOS]

..Ooh, yet another driver feels the need to express that his truck is big and can squish little bikers. You really had to get that off your chest, huh?

Uhh, I think he wanted to get it off his front bumper.

[olorin]

I think you're probably right.

[Joe Hadenuf]

And if you take hormones and grow breasts, it makes your chest more aerodynamic.

No, wrong, big boobs are not aerodynamic, they floop around in the wind. Boobs, like leg hair, are a drag against the wind and are not aerodynamic, leg hair needs to be shaved, for men, and boobs need to be strapped back as tight as possible with racing bras.

Reprocessed beer, and water, and coke, and pepsi and wine, and mountain dew, etc.

[Xenalyte]

Just curious, what is significant about this week?

What Skooz said. Why is this week special?

[stylin_geek]

I also have two rules I ride by, "I ride like I am invisible" and "I assume every car is trying to hit me."

[ArrogantBustard]

Just what are you supposed to be pouring into that funnel????

I suppose one could shove astronaut food (the Apollo era kind) down it ...

[Lazamataz]

No, wrong, big boobs are not aerodynamic, they floop around in the wind.

..... and the problem with that is....?

[RoughDobermann]

I ride with kevlar belted tires - two years & no flats

Really? Wow. I may have to give them a try.

"Also, if one is to ride a bike on a street, he should have to wait in line and buy a tag, just like others on the road."

For your information some localities and states do require licenses. I've been to Hawaii many times for the Ironman Triathlon World Championship and have several state of Hawaii license stickers on my race bike. Any why did you add "wait in line"? It seems by adding those little 3 words you want to impose some similar "suffering" on others that you may have experienced.

[Geritol]

The original paving of roads was at least as much due to the bikers as to the cars. Our system of roads owes a lot to the bikers. The bikers wanted paved roads so they could go somewhere, just like many today legally commute. Demanding that the bikers not actually go somewhere is about like saying the second ammendment only applies to hunting purposes.

[ironman]

Help me out. What traffic laws do you think I have broken?

[SGCOS]

...No, wrong, big boobs are not aerodynamic, they floop around in the wind.

Yeah, but if they're big enough you can stash an extra water bottle between 'em.

[olorin]

An absolute must. After reading some of the comments on this thread, I'm more apprehensive that some of the drivers we share the road with are actually trying to hit us.

[atlaw]

Personally, I view the road as my private domain. I've just had it up to here with stop signs, stop lights, intersections, other cars, trucks, old people, bicycles, skaters, joggers, children, cross walks, farm animals, the stupid Amish, cops in the middle of the street waving at me to stop, heck, even curbs and sidewalks. Its my road, I tell ya', so get off it and stay off it.

[KevinDavis]

Roads was made for one puprose, for motorized vehicles only.

[ArrogantBustard]

I also have two rules I ride by, "I ride like I am invisible" and "I assume every car is trying to hit me."

I hear tell that's good advice for bikers (Harley type), too. And Miata drivers ...
