Out of Pod Experience

Dear OP, **** you. Get a hobby of your own and gain understanding of others who have a hobby. Again, **** you.

even as a cyclist I hate people who do that. sitting in the middle of the road waiting for the lights. and because they are on a bike they get 2-3 car lengths behind them. this then adds up and because the turn lane is only so long the cars end up lining up even more in the actual lanes, slowing traffic, and generally causing congestion. I've seen an entire road stop from a single cyclist not wanting to push it meaning that the main lanes get blocked, meaning more and more people just pile up behind them.
meanwhile there are bike lanes, cross walks, well kept traffic signals, and all this stuff that is designed to help everyone get around faster and these jackasses just break it all because they figure they should be riding on the road.

Every time Jada opens her mouth a Stereotype falls out.

Then she states why and how it deserves to be killed.

No one likes them, but we are polite about it.

Show some pity.

Hmm most cyclists I know are actually a bunch of rich conservative doctor/professional types.
Also law states having to share the road. Meaning cars and bikes are equal. (unless it's a highway I believe because of minimum speed) .

What I found weird is that in most states riding a bike on the sidewalk is actually illegal. So they dont really have the option. I will say in certain places/roads where there really is no shoulder and the speed limit is 45+ (and lots of traffic) you dont really belong there as that's just a stupid place to ride.

I do know a few cyclists here that have gotten off their bikes and thrown down with cars that purposely tried to **** with them when they got to the next stop light. (Really funny stories actually. Who wants to admit they got their ass kicked by a guy in a helmet and tights.)

Jada represents a faction of conservatism that I call "blacked little soul" conservatism. It's what happens when you spend too many Saturday night staying home and watching COPS while keeping a dark little secret that they are afraid to go anywhere because they spend most of the week wanting the world to be a harsher place for people they don't like. A daily dose of Fox news and Limbaugh damages the mind further.

Don't blame them though. They are merely a result of "the other side" manipulating them. You see the whole spectrum of ideals is manipulated in such manner that people are:

either Prius-driving, bike riding, canvas-bag-to-Whole Foods (that's a health store for those of your out of the US) snarky liberal democrat types

....OR.....

SUV driving, overweight, burger-wrapper-out-the-window smug conservative republicans.


Both of these types of people are highly irritating, fooled, and no smarter than any German in the 1930s who sat there thinking it was either communism of fascism and ended up under the dictatorship of someone who deployed both systems.

The worst part of it is dealing with the zombie-like stupidity. For example, the hemp thing. There are a lot of reasons to support the use of Hemp but just because it's depicted by the media "as a liberal issue", the Jadas of the world don't like it. I can go down a long list of how both left and right are fooled and manipulated by stereotypes and having dumb ideas drummed into their heads all day every day.

My girlfriend was at a food co-op yesterday getting some good stuff. She openly carries her handgun (which is not only permissible in my state, but freemen openly bearing arms goes back to English common law). There were people working at that place who do not know that the sends in SWAT teams over raw milk. She was talking to some of the employees there interested in firearms training.

You'd think that people who are involved in that business would know about this? How come they don't? Who's hiding that from them? Perhaps the news media who likes the O-man is not in a hurry to report that? But the "other media" that liked the B-man didn't say much when he tripled the size of the ATF either. Meanwhile the O-Man is acting like the B-Man in his third term and everybody who complained about what the B-man did is silent now because the O-man is doing it, and everybody who is complaining about what the O-man is doing was silent when the B-man did it. These are the media sock puppets on both sides, twisting the minds of the Jadas of the world.

So I would feel sorry for Jada and people like that. They watch Fox news and think they took the red pill and escaped the Matrix like Neo - but they are still in a matrix. The matrix just let them think they took a red pill and got out, so now they sit around saying "I'm not brainwashed! I don't pay attention to the 'liberal media'" and all that means is yes they won't go wanting more socialist welfare state and thinking the O-man is their savior but instead will end up wanting the R-Man or some other Ken Doll the GOP sends out and clamoring for more fascist warfare state.


Luckily there are people here who have their eyes wide open and can see what's going on. without bothering to think in terms of stereotypes and ideals. Amongst the un-fooled an alliance is growing.

I am a triathlete, in many states (in arizona at least) it is often illegal to ride on the sidewalk. When I was cycling in high school when I first got into cycling (to keep fit out of wrestling season), i was actually riding on the side walk and used the cross walk (when it actually gave me the signal to cross). I was hit by a car...guess who was cited? yep, me. I then had a broken bike, hospital bills and a ticket from the city. I was citing for riding against the flow of traffick and riding on the side walk. lol

So if you don't like cyclists on the road, take your fat a$$ down to the voters booths and vote. if you decide to hit a group of cyclists (i have seen this), then you better kill all of them, because it would not be the first time i, and others I know, have beaten the teeth out of motorists for f$cked up moves.

Oh, have a gun with you too, because most of the riders I train with (myself included) do as well. I have no qualms about shooting someone who threatens my life with a car.

If you don't like them, leave your vehicle and hand your keys to them. Or give them a lift and put their bikes on your trunk. Otherwise stfu and keep driving.

Or waiting until we are through.

Dude... Which state are you talking about? Just wanna make sure i never visit it.
