Idiots on bikes

Today, as I pulled to a halt at a stop sign, a cyclist ripped through the air, slammed straight into my fender, and almost launched over my car. I ended up being cited for reckless driving. FML

We aren't all like that; I know a lot of cyclists ride irresponsibly and trust me it irritates the good cyclists as much as car drivers for giving us a bad name.

This didn't happen around Boulder did it? More to the point though aren't bicycles legal vehicles, which means if he hit you shouldn't he get the ticket. I suspect that like most places the cost of fighting it isn't really worth it.

@Major_General Bicycles ARE legal vehicles. In fact, bicycles have the RIGHT to use the road, whereas automobiles are granted the PRIVILEGE of operating on the road. Please learn some basic road laws before spouting off.

90-I believe 85 was trying to say "aren't bicycles legal vehicles?", not "bicycles aren't legal vehicles", which would imply that 85 did know that they are, but was unsure. I could be wrong, though.

They've got the idea, court the bastard

Fight it. Take it to the courts man

I don't see how you got cited for reckless driving... Common sense these days. Fyl

If u stapled at the sign and they hit u, then either u weren't behind the white line or they weren't on the sidewalk. Even it they hit ur back, it still means they weren't on the sidewalk, where they're supposed to be.

I bet he's just trying to make some money... Wouldn't be surprised if he tried to sue like an asshole.

Ripped through the air? Was there a ramp at the corner of the street? Me thinks you may have overshot your stop and were on the crosswalk. Am I right?

I'm pretty sure you left out some key details in this fml. Such as you most likely driving like a dick and pulling out way too far into traffic.

I hope everyone knows that bicyclists need to cross a crosswalk by getting the **** off their bike and WALKING. It is illegal for a bicyclist to ride along one. SO, OP, **** your life.
