Today, I was riding my bike on the side of the road because there was no sidewalk. Then a car with a loud horn honked at me. Pissed off, I turned around and screamed "shut the fuck up!" It was my girlfriend's parents saying hi. FML

In most places it's illegal to bike on sidewalks. It's also actually more dangerous for you (cars are paying more attention to what is near them ON THE STREET, not what is near them on the sidewalk) and pedestrians

Well, look at the silver lining. You don't have the girl, AND, you looked like a complete ass. FYL because you swore at the girl's parents, and you were almost scared to death (I'm guessing). YDI because you didn't look behind you to find out who it was.

Now, the parents are going to hate you, but your girlfriend will do whatever you want!

You do realize that legally in the US and Canada, you are to always bicycle on the road, right? If you bicycle is on the sidewalk, you are supposed to be walking it, not riding it. The law requires you to use hand signals to alert drivers to what you are planning to do while on a bicycle - drivers aren't going to be able to notice those hand signals if you are on the sidewalk. A pedestrian behind you doesn't need to know you are going to be turning left or right, or stopping at a corner. If you were on the street, you were where you were supposed. If you were on the sidewalk, than you had good reason to believe a car was irritated with you for biking in the wrong place

Do a little research before you comment ;) You can ride your bike wherever you want - true. You'll just get fined/arrested if you ride it in certain places - like on a sidewalk. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/toronto/story/2009/06/03/electric-bicycles.html
