ParticipantYeah, no leading light for the cross walk.
And today the crossing pedestrian lights went solid red WAY before the car traffic lights went yellow. There was a long period when the crossing light was solid red – and the traffic lights were green.
That is a recipe for having cyclists just ignore the crossing lights – and given how dangerous that intersection is – that is not good. Cyclists need to know that the traffic signal is meaningful – if it is not, then that’s brewing trouble.

I have a Cannondale XL, with everything set to the highest position, and it just sorta barely fits. I understand Cannondale now makes a “Jumbo” size. Jumbo?? Jumbo!!! Come’on! I’m not an elephant!

Do you really want me to answer that, Shorty??!! :p
ParticipantItalian Store is an Arlington Classic. The pizza is good. The sandwiches are true italian deli – fantastic.
My smell of the ride??? The smell of Blue Plains while biking over the 14th Street bridge when the wind is wrong. If you practice, you can hold your breath the entire way over the bridge!!
ParticipantCant walk into a room, poking people in the eye, and then get upset when you get a poor response. Here is some more religious texts to think about:
“An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind”
“Be the change you want to see in the world.”

ParticipantThe Collards are now gone; patched with asphalt. Perhaps the county needed them spray painted bright orange so they knew where they were.

ParticipantYeah, raise that seat as far as it will go (says the tall guy). Think about Glucosamine. And if the knees continue to hurt – listen to them.
ParticipantAnd understand that (a) you are probably talking to a community of unrogue bicyclists who (b) constantly get identified as token bike-commuters by our office mates, our neighbors, our “friends” who then proceed to unload on us everything that is wrong with cyclists.
I heard a cyclist once say the following:
For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
Everywhere everyone are rogue members of the transportation system. Cars. Trucks. Buses. Trains. Plains. Cyclists. Pedestrians (ug, pedestrians). It aint no different no where. So how to deal with rogue bicyclists: 7 things you should give up to be a happy cyclist: “As cyclists we are faced with hundreds of little decisions like this every day. We can either choose to be rattled or worry about more important things. “
Other than that guy I had to deal with today! OMG can someone tell fat guy cyclists that it is a sin against nature to not wear a shirt long enough to cover you butt crack. OOOOOOOH!
ParticipantCool

ParticipantCongratulations to Kathy Lewis for winning a Water Bottle
There were a few other winners from our area, but did not recognize the names.
(I am currently in 2nd place for August!!! #notforlong)
ParticipantI deny all knowledge. I wasnt there. This person must be an imposter.
ParticipantDoes anyone else find the original post a bit suspicious?
I am an established cyclist. Therefore I have an authentic voice to say cyclists suck.
In the words of the prophet Ke$ha, “Blah blah blah.”

And one final tome: okay…. everyone in the transportation system is a bum…. but only one segment of the transportation system drives one ton hunks of metal that kill.
Participant“Multi-Use Universe“
ParticipantDifferent types of riders – people are pubble – and why cant we all just get along?
Thinking about it…. there seems to me that there really are big differences between cyclists.
* ELITE riders drive in cars in order to go to races to ride bikes;
* Commuters ride bikes in order to avoid driving in cars.I mean…. I am just saying…. :p
