It is said that if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. Are you one of the good ones, /n/? Do people say you're not like those other cyclists?

You are inventing scenarios in your head to get mad at again.

>>2028001 (OP)
rent fucking freeeeee lmfao

where I live there are these two archetypes yes, but the pictures are reversed.
...or maybe its that both those doodles belong in "dont respect" and the only normal people are the ones who got into cycling more through the recent gravel bike explosion, they are by the only normal ones where I live.

>>2028013
>where I live
And where is that?

>>2028001 (OP)
Im the top one literally but without being gay and having 20k worth of bikes in my shed. I dont even talk about bikes with my normie friends because i know that they dont give a fuck

i dont respect anyone

Why do Cagies get so upset when you call out their objectively immoral means of travel? I hate bikers more than anyone, but cagies shouldn't be treated like humans.

>>2028036
>Sucking a natural resource from deep underground, cooking it until it separates, and burning one of two forms of the product (gas or diesel) in metal boxes designed to keep people safe and comfortable is somehow immoral

>>2028036
Are the "Cagies" in the room with us right now?

We really not more agressive jannys or a containment board for you urban planning faggots.

>>2028059
is the urban planning in the room with you right now?

>>2028032
suburban texas, the degenerate fixie youth and 40 yr old alcoholics on BMX bikes are contained to the urban cores, people here arent that "into the culture" like you see in SF/PNW/NYC so theyre not THAT annoying and niche, theyre mostly just kinda gross looking.
The roadie group ride addicts are all quite mentally ill, they do not act like normal human beings and they do make cycling their entire personality. They're very insular, not friendly to new people. If you want to get *in* with them you have to show complete devotion to the crew. They have no other non cycling friends or interests. I am cool with a few of them but when I run into them in a group setting with the whole 'crew' they are suddenly very autistic and like can't even look you in the eye. They're a weird bunch.

>>2028066
No but it's on my board.

>>2028076
this is not your board.

>>2028039
>>2028048
Cagies that kill pedestrians should be given the death penalty. That would solve the cagie question overnight.

>>2028137
How many miles?

>>2028001 (OP)
I don't respect any man that wears a helmet. Period.

my only source of personal transportation is my bike, ive never owned a car nor driven one on my own becuase im a 33 year old autistic loser. got my license at 26, never used it

20 year old 27 speed cannondale road bike, my only bike i own
i dont wear spandex, just a t shirt and shorts and a backpack
i only bike alone, never with others or in a group
the most "cyclist" thing i have is probably my rack and pannier bags
i always stop at stop signs and red lights, but for red lights, ill go through it after stopping if theres no cars around

>>2028232
cannondale is racer tier so you're in the first category, especially if you're an autist and therefore not doing it for fashion reasons

>>2028232
Holy shit anon your life sounds horrible

>>2028230
>Cagies are a symptom of a satanic force driving us off of a cliff.

you are mentally ill or a troll. you aren't owning anyone and you aren't contributing. it's just kinda sad.

>burning 44 gallons of crude oil
Nothing burns crude oil, it's refined into products including gasoline.

>>2030993
>staggering energy
Yes it's a marvel of human innovation how I can move 4000 lbs 24 miles at 70 miles per hour on just one gallon of gasoline, and there are vehicles even more efficient than mine. The energy density of gasoline is an amazing and beautiful thing.

Also, see >>2030994

>>2030834
Yeah it’s more horrible than you can imagine.

>>2030834
>>2031032
i don't get it, to me that sounds perfectly normal?

>>2028036
I think I'm leaving this board forever cause I can't stand this amount of faggotry

>>2031277
Ok see you tomorrow then

>>2031277
So, how's the quitting going?

>>2031277
Ok I'm back

>>2030993
>>2030992
>>2028230
what did I miss

if you aren't confident enough in your riding that you need to wear a helmet, you should NOT be biking

>>2028001 (OP)
Why are you not allowed to criticize cars?

>>2038534
So you know how there's a subset of the population who lives in constant fear that there is an invisible transgender lurking under every toilet seat waiting to pop out and, I don't know, force them to smoke estrogen-laced weed or make them listen to Charlie XIX or whatever?

That's how the REEEE CARS REEEEE people sound. Like I get it you clicked on the wrong thing maybe by accident maybe out of curiosity, and now your personal algorithm is 100% focused on stoking your rage over this totally random thing that was never an issue until you decided to make it your personal vendetta, but actually, to normies, you just sound crazy.

>>2038537
>but actually, to normies, you just sound crazy
Because normies are conditioned to hate everything against "'""''""the narrative'''""''"''"""'

>>2038544
the real cuck is the one that can't stop sucking big oil's black juice despite being a slave to it

>>2031032
sorry to hear that anon :(

>>2038537
But Cars actually exist and they are everywhere. Your point doesn't work. If cars really are like trannies, then it makes sense that some people lose their mind where there's billions of them everywhere

>>2028157
never got an answer on this

>>2028036
Umm what's a cagie

i dont belong to either group really. i dont own a car and only use a bike because of autism. but i dont have any special bicyclist gear like spandex or anything like that. i also dont really talk about bicycling at all, or rage against car drivers or anything like that. the most i do is just joke about having "the best parking" if i go somewhere that i can bring the bike inside or keep right next to me. i just have a road bike, have a rack on it with a few saddle bags in case i pick up something or put my backpack in one of them

>>2042254
one of the good ones

>>2028001 (OP)
Cyclists I respect:
Dude on a bike with some panniers, stopping at each stoplight and stopsign, signalling, taking the lane when needed
Cyclists I don't respect:
>beanie DUI tweaker riding on the sidewalk and then cutting across the road randomly
>$2000 bike fred speeding down the double yellow line to go around traffic, blowing lights and stopsigns
>fat ebiker wearing no helmet and going against traffic in the shoulder on the highway
>tweaker with no helmet, jeans tshirt riding in the tiny gap between congested traffic and the door zone and ignoring lights and stopsigns
>obvious opportunist thieves who look suspicious riding a child's bike very very slowly and poorly on the sidewalk

>>2028137
How many individuals do you personally know that have ever hit a pedestrian with their car? I don't know any on even an acquaintance level, but maybe I just don't associate with the kinds of people who drive like shit.

>>2028232
Similar to me too anon. Not the same, but similar.

Difference is I'm an autistic winner. And I like bike stuff so I have several (only one I bought from a store) and customized my shit pretty hard and wear nice loose athletic clothes on them.

>>2038695
His point is the people who screech about how much they hate cars are like the vegans who screech about people eating meat or the cuckservatives who constantly bitch about trannies or the lefties paranoid about nazis.

>>2031277
I came back due to a misclick. Gonna leave again though lol

>>2031277
Hey

>>2028068
north texas by chance?

>>2038537
except trans people take up <5% of the population but cars are the majority of road traffic in most countries and up to 95% in many areas of the US and canada and will endanger you and even purposefully drive close to you, coal roll you and yell at you for daring to ride on a bike.

>>2043123
>How many individuals do you personally know that have ever hit a pedestrian with their car?
holy shit I know this board is retarded but you are actually arguing based on anecdotes when the data is literally seconds away on google https://www.nsc.org/newsroom/nsc-estimates-over-44,000-traffic-deaths-in-2024

>>2028229
What if I put on a cute skirt first

>>2028229
Yeah cause you're dumb. Dumb people tend not to respect things that make sense because it confuses them and makes their head hurt.
