Thank you and I will.



This place is great. It's been so boring around here that this AM I also threw down a post about killing toddlers with pit bulls to save the environment. I figured that would be the thread to blow up, not this one.




Never under estimate the power of Lycra panties.

Now, if you will excuse me, things are so slow I think I will go surfing. I'm going to be cutting people off and screaming at them, but it will be OK because I intend to wear Lycra!

Look, all I'm saying is what if his face hit your tailgate, and he went down and he broke his neck, or he died? Would you really feel good telling his family/wife/kids that, "Hey, c'mon, he was yelling at me".

I find this statement to be very true.

It is why I try hard not to correct others' behavior unless there is an absolute need, mainly because it goes both ways no matter how 'right' I am.

I also know that when I've been taken out by cars either on my motorcycle (left turn into me when I had the green) or bicycle (right turn into me, passenger door on right being opened at an intersection, driver door being opened) or skateboard (right turn into me), when I got off the ground, it was astounding how much rage just numbs out the pain I was feeling and shut down my usual rational thought. I had to count to 10 quite a bit on each of those occassions...even with the cops who later showed up.

Oh it's ON bitch.

On the count of 10, we start holding our breathes.

Get ready...

Come on Fynn, judging from your story it seems intentional. That hit n run should be upgraded to vehicular assault and possibly even attempted murder.

You say that like murder is a bad thing.

"Thompson's lawyer had argued that the cyclists were belligerent and may have fallen because of the inherent instability of bicycles. He suggested that in any case the incident was accidental, not criminal."

That's the angle his lawyer chose?

So basic to just slam on the brakes. Whatever happened to the good old days where your passenger stuck a broomstick through the offending cyclists' spokes?

Hey, OJ used to live around the corner off Rockingham. Maybe him and that doctor will be neighbors again.

Generally, though, tailgating with a bicycle is not a bright move. Maiming someone and telling the cops they got what they deserved is even less bright.

Pedestrians/bicyclists do seem to be getting more militant/combative lately though. Funny, this does remind me a little of the Newport SUP beatdown story. Slightly different legal outcomes, though. Then again, they probably know they can get more money (and you better believe there will be a civil suit) out of the doctor than that kid out in the water.

Maybe he can work on a time machine to send all those lycra suits back to the 1980s. They look like a corporate Japanese ski team at Snowbird or something.

I live in Laguna Beach, and I work in the downtown area. I pretty much walk to work almost 5 days a week unless I have plans afterwards. I think a major cause of the shitty car traffic in this town is caused by an increase in dumbass pedestrians with zero self awareness. People are ***** retards. Yeah, pedestrians have the right of way, but that doesnt mean you step out in front of a car that has already entered the intersection. And then the peds throw em the stink eye and start to walk slower out of spite.

And it's funny. I've told several tourists I've seen waiting to cross PCH OFF THE CURB that "I've lived here all my life, and if I walked around like you are now I'd of been a bloody mess on the pavement a long time ago". It's kinda dickish, but it's effective, especially if they're with kids.

There was this letter to a local paper from an out of town pedestrian who got hit saying the city needed to do more to keep pedestrians safer. My reaction is that people need to get a ***** clue and actually look if there are any cars in the intersection.

The real problem are people that just can't give a fark about anyone but themselves. These people are going to be a problem if they're in a car, if they're on a bike, or if they're a pedestrian. But this does beg the question: Why are so many of those types of people attracted to bicycles?

Ignorant kooks.

I know more than a few of those cyclists that will surf circles around you in the water 2'-20', and ride circles around you on a moto track (yes you half man trail putt putt). Then again most of the mouths on here don't do either well so I guess it's not that big of a deal...

Hey, most cyclists I know (myself included) aren't huge fans of the lycra, but it's the right tool for the job.

GWS, I agree that the rider in your story was an a-hole for sure, but slamming your brakes to take him down - that was seriously a weak-ass move. Interesting how you spin it into something to brag about.

Coming the opposite way was a cyclist making a left turn. I have right of way. The cyclist comes through and is riding my bumper through the turn, screaming obscenities at me. I’m driving a pickup truck with no tailgate on it and the back sliding window is open. The cyclist is literally inches off my bumper and screaming his head off at me.

I don't know that I was bragging. It just is what it was. It was decades ago. I wasn't very old. He was so close to me I couldn't even see his front wheel and I simply gave my brake pedal a tap. I was surprised when he clipped the bumper and lost it. I'd be lying if I said I felt bad about it however. Guy got a little bit of road rash and got back on his bike (in silence) and rode away. I figure he had it coming.

You think that story was bad... well, just remind me to never tell you guys about some of the things I did to people over waves back then.

What's humorous is the same lycra fag that you might throw a broom handle into his front spokes might be the same guy that could pwn you out in the water. That guy could also be an ex pro moto, golden glove boxer, etc.

For no reason I've had golf balls thrown at me from opposing traffic, had change thrown at me, drinks thrown on me, been buzzed, pinched into the gutter, spit on, blatantly cut off, yelled at, etc - all because some fvcking dickhead like you thought it was funny. Maybe you're one of the guys who's cars I knocked a rear view mirror off of when I unexpectedly caught up to you at a light. Now that was funny...

Hate to break it to you but surfers are just as big of kooks as cyclists, you just think you're different/better.

Did you actually think I was SERIOUS about the broom handle?

Jesus. F*cking. Christ.

Like I said earlier, "Pedestrians/bicyclists do seem to be getting more militant/combative lately though."

Talk about flying off the handle over what was an obvious joke.

Ignorant kooks.

I know more than a few of those cyclists that will surf circles around you in the water 2'-20', and ride circles around you on a moto track (yes you half man trail putt putt). Then again most of the mouths on here don't do either well so I guess it's not that big of a deal...






I guess most of the cycklists around here must surf after dark.

It usually seems when I'm on my way to go surfing early AM,
they're all out riding in a big pack in front of me.

Sniffing each others buttcracks.

Tell the truth; you were wearing your 4/3 when all this happened, weren't you?




I'll bet he was riding an SUP.

What's humorous is the same lycra fag that you might throw a broom handle into his front spokes might be the same guy that could pwn you out in the water. That guy could also be an ex pro moto, golden glove boxer, etc.

For no reason I've had golf balls thrown at me from opposing traffic, had change thrown at me, drinks thrown on me, been buzzed, pinched into the gutter, spit on, blatantly cut off, yelled at, etc - all because some fvcking dickhead like you thought it was funny. Maybe you're one of the guys who's cars I knocked a rear view mirror off of when I unexpectedly caught up to you at a light. Now that was funny...

Hate to break it to you but surfers are just as big of kooks as cyclists, you just think you're different/better.

[end rant]




Did you actually think I was SERIOUS about the broom handle?

Jesus. F*cking. Christ.





Jesus. F*cking. Christ.... You have a stupid sense of humor.

In all seriousness, a very long time ago I did something similar to the Doctor. I was going through an uncontrolled intersection. I was making a right turn. Coming the opposite way was a cyclist making a left turn. I have right of way. The cyclist comes through and is riding my bumper through the turn, screaming obscenities at me. I’m driving a pickup truck with no tailgate on it and the back sliding window is open. The cyclist is literally inches off my bumper and screaming his head off at me. So, I hit the brakes. (I saw a cat that was about to leap out in front of me. I swear. You all know how much I LOVE cats…) The cyclist went down. I, being the giver that I am, the Good Samaritan, the good citizen, pulled over and exited the vehicle to check on the person who had hit me from behind. We quickly determined that despite bleeding from a half dozen places he was mostly OK, and then we discussed his attitude.



I was never brought to justice.






SUPER weak. You were really THAT bothered by a little cyclist BEHIND your truck that you purposefully tried to hurt and him and possible kill him?

Super weak. No excuse.

And yes, I fully realize the guy was an annoying out-of-control idiot.







I was minding my own business. Doing nothing wrong. You start screaming $hit at me under those circumstances, I just might hurt you. That's the way it is. You don't get a pass because you're wearing the magic Lycra panties. If the guy had walked up to me this morning as I was getting my coffee and started screaming $hit at me in the parking lot for no reason, depending on how many witnesses there were and if there were cameras, I might have hurt him again.



You go around screaming $hit at people for no reason, somebody is eventually going to punch your ticket.






Hey, don't get me wrong; that would never be me, screaming, tailgating, OR wearing spandex. And, like I said, I get that the guy was an asshole.

But using your truck to hurt a cyclist? WEAK.



Sounds to me more like he used his truck to enable the cyclist to hurt himself and thus learn a valuable lesson in civility.




I'm assuming GWS's truck was equipped with taillights.

They're supposed to tell you that brakes are applied - unless you're too damn close and not paying attention.

BTW:

"Magical Armored Lycra Panties" is the name of my new band!




Nice catch Steak and no one is giving gws credit for not ending it with a knee of death...the biker lived to ride another day

Learn about the concept of hyperbole.

I mean, who carries a broom in their car anyways?

I'm sorry the chip on your shoulder is so goddamn huge that you view even a joke as a personal attack. I'm honestly wondering if you didn't do more on the road to warrant having so much sh*t thrown at you. Obviously that sucks but that's not normal at all to have that happen, not on the regular basis that you portray.

I live in Laguna Beach, and I work in the downtown area.




f-ing traffic/pedestrian nightmare right there...................i used to deliver to forest street from san clemente every day from the 80's until the 90's. i can only imagine what a nightmare it is now........summertime is the absolute worst.........pedestrians used to just walk out without even looking, crazy.

and speaking of pedestrian walking out, i had one do this to me in downtown morro bay. i was slowly driving through the intersection after a stop when this lady walks out into the intersection, she starts losing her mind and screaming at me. i wasn't even close to her, i gave her the wave that i was sorry.............she still yelled at me as she made it to the curb, and i still apologized, even when i wised i had ran her over......kidding of course. i think she was mentally unstable


this thread has touched some nerves
