So is every cyclist just a massive cunt.
Your journey takes 23 minutes instead of 20 minutes if you happen to get stuck behind cyclists.
This drives you into an uncontrollable rage.
Are you sure it's them who has the sense of entitlement?
Build more cycle paths and your hatred for cyclists will inexplicable vanish.
Untrue.
Literally every prick in lycra I see around my town choose to actively ignore the cycle path.
The reason?
They are c**ts.
no. its because those cycle paths are built by bad civil engineers that dont ride and they are designed for someone going 5-10 mph. road cyclists ride at 15-25. btw post body you undoubtedly obese dyel.
Imagine being that fricking dense that you cannot fathom a real world experience that doesn't align with your personal view.
The epitome of cycle c**t
>*wheeze* imagine *cough* being that *takes loud sip out of big gulp* fricking dense...
drop and give me 20, fatty
anon this is literally the problem. Do commuter cyclists go as fast as lycranigs? I can tell you that the tables we use probably don't account for that (I'm a project manager, less of a designer). Would you design roads to handle people always going at 130 mph? or 70 like an average commuter?
You get it. The reason I shouldn't drive 130mph everywhere on the road is the same reason lycranigs shouldn't do their training on bike paths
yes, and that leads us back to why im in the road. tbf i do generally keep out of the way but this does not stop drivers from: a) being mad b) staying mad c) driving like shit and almost killing me so they can text d) being fat
>Build more cycle paths and your hatred for cyclists will inexplicable vanish.
lol. lmao. you martsharting mutt.
thats 11 hours in a year
less time than you wasted on IST this week
>road bike
>not designed for road
moron
more like 20 to 20:30. i dont bike in as busy of an area any more, but when i lived in the city i became a massively aggro city cyclist. this was caused by months of reliably getting about 5 near misses an hour caused by moronic braindead drivers that shouldnt even have received a license to drive but theyre handed out like candy anyway because the cattle need to get to their milking station. if drivers stopped trying to kill cyclists with their moronation they might be more amicable. youre basically just a Black person complaining about racism.
>out-of-shape wagie that lives to work and works to live still seethes about not being able to get to work at time
always hilarious
My beef with cyclists isn’t about them being slow, waiting two minutes never killed anybody.
In my area, they all ride super erratically, running stop signs, randomly turning into or out of the lane, etc. I’m afraid I’m going to accidentally hit someone, and it’s extremely nerve wracking in general to have to keep guessing what they’ll do next.
If you want to be taken seriously as part of the flow of traffic, you have to behave predictably, otherwise stay out of the fricking road.
>running stop signs, randomly turning into or out of the lane, etc.
This is a huge annoyance to everyone. Erratic cyclists are just as obnoxious as erratic drivers. I commute to work by bike and I make sure I behave like a car and follow the rules of the road. Even so, I have to deal with drivers trying to run me off the road and screaming at me to get on the sidewalk, even when I'm in the designated bike lane. It's always fat, middle-aged white people, too.
Vast majority of the people who b***h about cyclists are fat, middle-aged white people. Guarantee that most of them complaining ITT at least fit the fat and white categories. Sad!
yeah people that b***h about cyclists pretty much filter themselves immediately upon opening their fat mouths. one look at them instantly invalidates their argument
It's bizarre, because it's the only time I've ever experienced blacks being more considerate, on the whole. I don't know if it's because a lot of them have had to commute by bike themselves, but they treat cyclists with much more consideration and courtesy than white people.
Even the hood Black folk give a wave and yield to me at the 4-way stops.
that's because black people bike from young ages
The wave is a callsign to the other hoodrats about which bike to steal next
Yeah, if you’re riding in the bike lane in a responsible manner and people are still screaming at you, they’re just buttholes. The only cyclists I really hate on are the dudes just weaving around with no way to know what they’re thinking. I don’t want to be liable if one of those bozos runs a stoplight or something and we have an accident. I’d also feel terrible if I killed somebody with my car.
I do judge the fat middle aged dudes in head to toe Lycra with a 10k road bike, but people overspending on pro gear they don’t need isn’t a problem unique to cycling.
If it matters, I’m white, but not middle aged or fat.
Wanting cyclists to stop at all stop signs is really dumb, it actually increases risk. Theyre going to be moving at a snail's pace when they start crossing if they've stopped, and in that kind of time a previously clear street can suddenly have a car on it going far faster than the cyclist. Since theyre not in a car they can usually see if its clear to keep going well before you could.
It not just cyclists that ignore the rules, if you were to go on the road a good 50% of all cars will just never give a direction for example.
Shaniquas on their phones in their leased GLE. Juans driving drunk in their beat up pickup trucks. People who shouldn't have a driver's license whining that It's impossible to pass a slower vehicle.
Honestly, it's completely natural for someone in shape like a road cyclist to view the mishappen blobs of adipose tissue driving like morons as a lesser species.
I live in a rural area. Cyclists are basically just tractors.
If you want people to cycle, Joe Average doesn't actually want to share the road with the average motorist. This is totally understandable. Not everyone is as suicidal as a motorcycle rider.
I hope your kids get cancer
Yeah I own a $1000 bike and can confirm your full of shit. I watch cyclists now in two countries ride on the road when there's a perfectly good cycleway only feet away from them.
Yep exactly.
If you guys have a problem with cyclists on the road, call/mail your council and ask them to build some cycling lanes or paths
cycling lanes
do
not
work
How do you mean? The dedicated cycling paths in my city (separated from roads) are very popular.
The cycling lanes which are on the road also help alot, they let cars drive by without feeling like they’re going to run cyclists over.
>Are you sure it's them who has the sense of entitlement?
>Build more cycle paths and your hatred for cyclists will inexplicable vanish.
What are you, entitled? Just build another lane for me, as simple as that!
>You're not entitled to more of the road because your vehicle is bigger and faster
Physics in case of a crash would disagree
literally me omg
Yeah let's just redesign the entire city to cater to a minority group's lifestyle choices.
>caroids be seething
It's a mental disease. They will block the road when there is an empty designated cycling lane just next to the street. Thank god they have such a high death count.
"cycling lane" filled with broken glass and dirt and whatever else because it's basically just a gutter on the side. "Gee, I wonder why no one wants to use this?"
get better tires, not my problem.
it literally is your problem because im in front you causing you to seethe uncontrollably
I walk on the sideway, not my problem.
enjoy stepping in human shit then
weird projection, I take it you have experience with that?
yeah. its why i ride and not walk and also stay away from the city if at all possible.
Total vagrant death can't come soon enough.
moron urban planners never listen to what people actually want. Cyclists want to ride somewhere that's not a gutter full of Jose's broken beer bottles. Similarly, people want public transit to have marshalls to either not allow vagrant lunatics, or eject them from the vehicle -and have more frequent service.
>tfw my only source of transport is bicycle and public transit because I’m a cowardly avoidant loser
A car is literally the most isolated you can make yourself from everything else while getting around, it's the transport mode of choice if you are avoidant. This is why the more awful a place to live is the more people will be fiercely attached to using a car. No one in the states wants to walk or bike or take a bus because of the people theyll have to encounter if they do, but people taking a trip to Japan don't care about not driving because its actually pleasant outside a vehicle
People don't need a car in Japan because they live on top of each other like insects in cities and everyone has abandoned the countryside save a few old timers who are in the process of dying out.
When everyone was living in the countryside it functioned without cars just fine. Their countryside dying and modern transport coming to Japan happened around the same time, the first slightly later if anything.
Im not huge Japan fan, they have insane issues and I would never raise my kids there because of those issues, but its a useful place for showing how people taking vacations from countries where you -need- a car, people who probably are very pro-car in their own nation, don't actually mind or even actively enjoy the car free experience that's possible there. The subway might be packed full of Japs, but they wont stab you, or crap on the bus, or stink terribly. Your kid can walk down the street and you dont need to worry about it. You need something, you can probably walk to it in a few minutes. That's one of the nice things about the place
The only time people don't need a car in an *actual* countryside was back when everyone used horses and buggies and they all swapped to the car for a reason.
Not all countryside is like American countryside, with houses far apart enough to not see each other. We're actually pretty unique for having our rural towns work this way. Rural in other places might look like villages, where houses have their own space but are much closer together than is typical for the most rural parts of the USA.
People need each other to survive and live well, past people would not have built their houses and necessary buildings so far apart that walking isnt feasible. Horses werent something the majority had. Even American frontiersmen would actually go back and forth from the frontier, and it was usually groups of families moving together to build up. The extreme separation of the rural USA was made possibly by trains, and then cars.
I'm aware that most old world rural communities were just little miniature towns whereas in the new world people were much more likely to actually just live sparsely. I prefer living far away from others- however I don't see what that has to do with the fact that a vehicle is basically necessary for that setting.
Bicycle geargays are worse than ultralight hikers when it comes to adding ounces to their bike.
I got puncture-resistant tires for commuting and the first thing I was asked by a geargay friend was "aren't those tires really heavy, though?"
They're like 4oz heavier (8oz total), but at least I'm not getting flats everyday riding in the bike lane.
Gatorskin?
its really bad because a lot of them could lose 4x more weight than they could ever save buying top of the line stuff for free.
The hikers have more of an excuse to go ultralight as weight is a genuine burden for what they are trying to do. Road cyclists are mostly just trying to get exercise. Literally no reason for them to care so much about weight.
If you seethe over bikes I automatically assume you are a fatty.
if you can't afford a car I automatically assume you're a Black person
> road cyclist use their bike reach a destination
>not to exercise
are you too stupid or baiting?
cars are israeli. They didn't start that way, but they are now.
ok /n/igger
Road cycling unironically an affluent hobby. Owning a car means you have a pulse. Owning a nice car means you have a pulse and a credit score
My bike is probably worth more than your shitbox
Yeah, it shouldn't be.
>Mountain biking for LYFE
Being able to ride a bike to work is either for the absolute poorest people or the upper class. Middle class people commuting through traffic in their crossovers and midsize SUVs cant afford to ride a bike its that simple.
If you bike on carcentric roads you are a homosexual. You're not in amsterdam, snowflake.
fat confirmed i can hear the faint crinkling of burger wrappers from here
>i'm going to dress like a moron spend thousands on a vehicle not build for road use and then act like a twat in the middle of a city on the road
>what am i
I have only seen rich boomers/gen x dress this way, for them it is clearly a hobby, they arent going to work or the store like that. They are a minority of the people I see on bikes though.
Theyre just the bike version of the annoying boomer who has a lifted perfectly shiny unused truck that high beams straight into your eyes, but the bike boomers arent as fat.
>1 person on a bike
>1 person in a car
>cargay seething because he has to slow down for a moment
You're not entitled to more of the road because your vehicle is bigger and faster
Disagreeing with this statement proves either you're an entitled fart-engulfer or an brainrot zoomer
think of your reddit gold when your spine is being crushed under a 40t truck. cyclists always put up white bikes at street corners here when one of their friends got pulped, guess who cares, nobody.
>why is America so obese?
mentally unstable
A lot of places cops will harass you and ticket you for biking on the sidewalk, which is often illegal, while you can legally ride in the road or on the bike lane. The bike lane is an easy way to die, so the ones less concerned about irritating drivers are actually safer in the middle of the road. The bikers trying to follow all the rules and keep everyone happy use the bike lane, and they die.
Of course the sidewalk might also just stop existing, be complete busted up garbage, or be blocked by random crap. Same with the bike lane.
>You're not entitled to more of the road because your vehicle is bigger and faster
Yes you are, bikeBlack person. The law says that you must keep a certain distance away from other cars while driving.
this is why trucks are allowed to run your pathetic ass off the road
I hope a semi corrals you into a ditch, Black person
If one of those söy chugging cum guzzling subhumans blocks the road I'm not even going to overtake. I'm going to sit 1m behind them and permahonk them until they get out of the way. I can do this for hours no problem, my honk is loud and sturdy.
mad respect
ok I will ride in front of you
I bike a lot but I don't go on roads, or even the cycle path (never know when someone is gonna go AWALL and ram you over). Why do some bikers, especially those that look like in OP, go on the roads? Most dangerous spot in the road. I've seen them do it when the road was busy too, not just empty neigherhoods
Because they reach speeds that are unsafe on walking paths, they stay in the middle of the road because that's how traffic rules work.
> So is every cyclist just a massive c**t. What causes them to act passive aggressive and feel that they are owed for this sense of entitlement

>they literally overtake the bus in the bus lane
>use a lane for turning right to skip all cars in the middle lane and stand in front of them at the traffic light
>constant bickering between each other and passive aggressive overtaking and bell-spamming
I have a good bike and am a better and faster biker than all of these c**ts. So as soon as another one cuts me off, I am sent into an irrational spiral of wanting to murder his entire family and then I have to overtake him. It's truly a toxic experience. Bikes are really dicks, and I am the biggest one. Everything they say about bikes is true. Please forgive me, I am at least aware of how it must make everyone else feel.
The only thing I don't have remorse for is pedestrians standing in a clearly marked bike lane (and staring at their phone). Those should be killed on sight.
Interesting. I bike kinda how you describe a shit cyclist, maybe because there isn’t the infrastructure.
On the few dedicated bike paths that exist, there are a lot of cyclists and I really enjoy it and it’s basically a road for cyclists.
But out on the road, I bend laws because sometimes I’d be stopping every 20 meters or fricking waiting ten trillion years for a “safe” opportunity to make a manoeuvre.
Pic related me after a 110km ride back when I could do long rides
what's the time on the mirror mean
Maybe its like NY, where crap road (and life in general) conditions produce extremely aggressive ahole behavior on the road in order to cope.
Straight men don''t do group rides. It's entirely a gay thing as you can probably tell by the way they dress. Gays, in general, have an inferiority complex which causes them to try and compensate by exhibiting obnoxious behavior. It's the exact same phenomenon that causes Black folk to nog.
Cyclist want to be treated like cars when convenient and like pedestrians when convenient. These frickers have no standards. They think rules don't apply to them.
they dont, rule cuck.
they get to be treated like a pedestrian because they weigh about 250 pounds in total unlike your fat ass 3-ton truck
Only a fat person would seethe this hard over seeing people exercising and a momentary inconvenience.
Only DYEL lycragays in tight spandex and plastic helmets are buttholes.

>you're slow af on a 15kg/33lbs mountain bike doing uphill sprints in a forest!!!
Bit of truth to this, it almost seems to be spandex wearing males acting like this. Never encountered this from a female adult in spandex nor from a mountain biking adult. Kids I don't count cause well they're kids.
I have never seen a cyclist riding in the middle of the road. That would be extremely dangerous as most people dong give a shit about speed limits and they use phones while driving. Unless you're able to maintain 60kmh on a bicycle you'd get flattened.
I see it all the time. Even when there are nice bike lanes the same as the road surface. However, that doesn't bother me. What bothers me is cyclists NEVER stop for pedestrians, and when there are shared bike and pedestrian paths they expect the pedestrians to jump out of their way as they fly along on a 100kg electric bike.
It is shared bike and pedestrian paths that are the true danger. Just force the cyclists to be on the road and follow the rules like cars.
If a plebdestrian gets hit by a bikeisraelite, they'll walk away most of the time. If a bikeisraelite gets hit by a carchud, they'll die or be seriously injured most of the time
Not my problem if they get hit by a car. I don't want to share paths with cyclists.
I walk every single day, with my dogs and kids, and cars are vastly more of a threat. Stresses me out every single time someone goes flying at 45 mph down a fricken residential while my kid plays in the grass. I am never even the slightest bit worried for our safety due to bikes, and they pass by all the time.
oh look the amerisharts found a new # to rally behind, now the evil cars are to blame for their fat asses. thankfully it's a cancer that can't spread to europe this time because muh bikelanes have already failed here.

Hello from a Reddit refugee!
As you might know, a lot of us from Reddit are now migrating to IST, because we have been betrayed by Spez's greed.
We're gonna have to make a lot of changes here, big yikes. Just now I was in a post where someone had a freaking n*zi flag?? Like I saw that and just... wow.
Anyways, I think this place could use some diversity of opinion so please upvote this post if you are also a Redditor and want to see some progressive changes around here.
+1
lmao that was super fricking earned. what a moron
imagine not living in a real first world country with real first world infrastructure where you can cycle across the whole nation without seeing a single car in your path.
>Muh concrete junglerino! Muh comfy wumfy cityscape and starbucks!
rent free
That's all you have to say for yourself? Figures.
The Dutch are weirdos even by European standards. Most people are going to get a motorcycle or motorscooters. You see this progression everywhere else. When people are dirt poor, they commute on bikes. When motorscooters become available and affordable, the bicycles are immediately ditched like in SEA.
>Most people are going to get a motorcycle or motorscooters
>You see this progression everywhere else
>When people are dirt poor, they commute on bikes
kek. let me tell you something about your country. Yes, you are right. The Netherlands is one of the poorest countries in the world thats why they all ride bikes. They are so poor because they spend all their money on free healthcare, free education, top notch infrastructure, peak public transport and top social care. The poor Dutch can't even afford food
Someday the destitute Dutch will be on par with SEA and get their scooters, anon.
One day when the Dutch won't be so poor anymore they probably will start importing scooters. One day the poor Dutch will finally have scooters in stores so they can buy them. They never saw a scooter in real life
>"free" healthcare
hello Sharty, how's the syrup
The Dutch are so poor that they even have better infrastructure and roads than countries that call themselves "car centered".
the Netherlands are one tiny metropolitan shithole, americans are so fricking stupid it hurts. every weekend or holiday they get into their campers and flee to Germany which is only slightly less shat up with infrastructure but it still seems rural to a Dutchman.
>let me tell you somethng about your country.
>the Netherlands are one tiny metropolitan shithole
fricking morons watch an item on Fox news and think they know a country, kek. Burgers are even more moronic than sub-saharan Africans
Lol wait less than 500 people per km is considered rural lol?? Frick I don't consider something rural unless it is like less 5 per square mile so like what 15 per sq km?
ffs these burgers really are the most retaded people on the planet. The meme is real.
They didn't even learn basic concepts in school that < 500 can be between 499 and 0.
I need to bang my head against a wall so all braincells I have are dead to reach the level of this moronation
Wait so Dutch dike-jumpers akshually consider 499 people in a square km to be RURAL??
What? He's talking about the upper limit of the rural label, that poster does not consider 499 people rural, his criticism is valid. You misunderstood both points
I live 25 km from the dutch border, sharty, I go there once a month.
now post a picture from your window Steve, you reek of corn syrup and lube.
>the dutchman is now pretending his country isn’t overcrowded
lol, lmao even
I'm saying that Dutch cycling culture is an anomaly. It's not bad by any means, but its anomalous for its level of affluence - the usual progression (which you see in Asia) is bike->motorcycle/scooter->car. Even then 60% of Dutch people commute in a personal car.
Fricking /n/tard.
>let me tell you something about your country
kek. thats top moronation
You're not Dutch, you just wish you were. You are in reality a /n/igger, probably from the PNW, who is too lazy to do basic research about his favorite country - like how many say they commute by car. Or car ownership rates, which increased from 58% of households in 92 to 75% in 2016. In fact, car free is negatively correlated with household income - which is to say that most people want cars, and get them when they can afford them.
i have a car and a bike. i use my bike more than my car
I have two trucks, a car, two tractors, and a bike. I literly never use the bike don't even know where it is tbqh.
>let me tell you something about your country.
>there are 22,8 million bikes in the Netherlands
>almost every person has at least one bike
>thats a unicum in teh world
https://www.fietsersbond.nl/ons-werk/mobiliteit/fietsen-cijfers/
I'll just stop here because I can't handle that much moronation.
look at all those cars
Thats a lot of people on bikes and I couldn't spot one single obese one. Could it really be that...no it can't be.
That doesn't address any of my claims. You're just moving the goalposts, because if you actually address them, you'll be wrong. Keep bringing up more irrelevant metrics, moron /n/igger. There are more personal cars than ever in the Netherlands, most Dutch people commute by personal car, and those commutes have gotten longer.
After all, km driven per year in the Netherlands broke records every year from 2016-2019. This doesn't sound like a country which is decreasing it's car use. To the contrary, it seems like the Dutch are really enjoying their cars.
All the Dutch have done is ban cars from some city centers. Parking your Clio at the edge of town and cycling around the city center is admirable. But all the highways the Dutch are building, and the motoring records they're breaking annually suggest a different set of revealed preferences.
This is because poor nations trying to become wealthy just copycat the USA, so you get really moronic stuff like tiny islands 5 miles across paving about half of it to have a road system when literally anything else makes more sense for a compacted island.
no thanks, i will continue to enjoy having mountains and actual wilderness. Hopefully your special bike lanes go all the way to the vaalserberg so you can see what it’s like to go up a hill taller than 1m some day.
>Not just bikes
I liked him before he turned ultra shitlib.
I really like to bike but where I used to live there was a wonderful wooded trail (the airline trail if anyone who lives near there knows about it) that I would exclusively bike on. Now that I live near a metropolitan area I would never bike, it's fricking annoying and definitely not as safe
I so laps around the local community center I usually go on the dirt path when near any cars though
I hit one with my car before. He thought I would stop and slow down when he swerved in front of ke lol. Hurt his arm pretty bad, I felt pretty good.
I annihilated a cyclist who ran a stop sign a few years ago. he broke a shit load of bones lol. i was going speed limit and didnt have a stop. daily reminder to everyone to buy a dash cam, saved my ass.
sounds like an America problem
Americans hate bikes because their infrastructure hates bikes
get better road infrastructure
Why does no one ever wear helmets in these bike countries? Is it because they are usually riding separate from the cars?
helmets are gay. id rather just be killed outright than paralyzed from the neck down but alive.
this picture is precisely why i still ride in the street. look at all these fat fricks probably riding at 6 mph without any sense of order. some of us dont suck absolute wiener at pedaling and would like to get somewhere in a timely manner. im getting a headache just looking at this picture. gtfo the way if youre gonna ride like a grandma
Separate from cars and they ride in control instead of pretending they are Lance Armstrong every time they hop on their bicycle.
Look at those homos. Imagine posting these complete pussies and thinking it's some kond of gotcha. The absolute state of you.
T. Not american
>sounds like an America problem
what are you on about, I'm in EU with narrow streets and you literally can't overtake them half the time, plus they're allowed to move in pairs side by side
this whole fad is ameritrannies from reddit larping as europeans to advocate for more bike lanes in america, it's funny as frick.
Actually, more bike lanes would be great. You're not going to get normal, risk averse people like Karen the soccer mom to make trips by bike if she has to share the road with Davante texting and driving 15 over in his subprime scrap Altima.
You want Karen to feel safe cycling to Trader Joe's on a nice Saturday morning with her kids. And that's not going to happen if she has to share the road. It's also not going to happen if Bluetooth Speaker Americans are allowed to steal bikes with impunity, but that's another story.
>Bluetooth Speaker Americans
kek. must be an IST chad
I don't care about your fantasy world, I'm just here to laugh at your delusions. Please yes build more bike lanes but please do the rest of the world a favor and livestream the resulting chaos and carnage.
I tried to get into cycling once and went and got dinner with a cycling club a few times and literally all those gays did is talk about ass chafing. It was basically the ass chafing club. Like 95% of the conversation was about ass chafing I've never seen or heard anything like it. I knew then and there it wasn't for me.
>if only there were more bike lanes then I wouldn't be fat!
reddit gets dumber every year
notice how none of the eu/n/uchs posted body because they're skinnyfat losers invading random boards on their reddit crusade.
theres your eu/n/uch body, gay. now lets see yours
so you proved him right good job
the lack of posted body speaks volumes
I ride a road bike to get around in streets because im too afraid to drive a car. Just today I was riding behind a guy for a while thru town and he never looked over his shoulder to change lanes, just stuck his arm out and changed. When we got to a stop I told him he should look, he told me to mind my business. Told him I hope he gets hit by a car and left
interesting how little it takes to get "civilised" people openly talking about murdering people with their motor vehicle
Driving can put the calmest person on edge, understandably so considering technically you're always a moment away from serious injury or death if you're not careful or just unlucky
In a car you have some protection from other people's mistakes, on a bike or motorcycle you are entirely at the mercy of moronic npcs.
Realistically it's much more dangerous to encourage drivers to share your lane with you, you're just inviting someone to come up from behind you and hit you, thinking there's space
considerate cyclists ride on paths. so it would follow that all the cyclists on the road are inconsiderate
>Ride a bike
>Decide they're better for it
>But still be riding a bike
>Feel scared having virtually no protection from being thrown 50 feet
>Since they can't be stronger, go hyper Karen and decide to be entitled passive aggressive c**ts

i also block food delivery indians on their gay mopeds and scare pedestrians by passing them from behind extremely close and fast
Why do city people take pride in their sad situation?
i enjoy living in the city, there are things and people here

he might actually be referring to the vibrance and diversity

>i said the meme, your argument is invalid

Kek
>actually defending not living on your 're own personal chataeu in the highlands of the french riviera
kek that would be OK if guns were allowed but I'll be happy enough on the 2sqm I live on here.
Because they are the lowest of the npc caste. To them living in a filthy shit hole stacked on top of each other is "comfy". LOL.
Cities are not inherently awful places, they are in the US because of racial problems. A lower-density city of nice people that is clean and aesthetically built is great. Those are the places people take trips to see, to escape from their filthy violent city.
Not only are cities awful places all over the globe regardless of nation- but they have been throughout all history.
As cosmopolitan centers of commerce they are inevitably radical, degenerate, crime ridden, and rootless cess pools of notably foreign elements. Nature bulldozed, inherently soulless, people packed into little shoeboxes like sardines, soulless, godless, hubs of government and media/academia etc etc. Cities have always driven the soulless march of greed, crime, government, and degeneracy from the very first day they decided to slap a few mud huts up behind a wall.
Nice try with the attempt to obfuscate this manifest reality with nationalism though kek.
You forgot the disease, filth, drugs, prostitution, poverty, etc.. and they are actually proud of it too that's that's makes it so bad.
I grew up in a town of 5k and live in a city of several million now. Both have advantages.
Suburbs are useless trash that have to be subsidized to work though.
I grew up in a town of 250 and now live innawoods.
I lived in a few towns of about 150k when I was in school though for about 7 years. People who have never lived in the woods or in a genuinely rural place will never understand what an unholy hellscape an actual big city is to people who haven't been mindfricked by the "hustle and bustle" kek. Seriously I hate all big cities with a burning passion and no half-assed anonymous anecdote will ever even remotely budget the needle kek. I could write 50 tldrs on why I hate these cesspools. Btw suburbs are bad but they are a lesser evil than cities in many ways.
Nah burbs are way worse than the city because they're leeches. Cities serve a purpose to the country. Burbs do not.
In my town of 5k I lived in a farm and spent most of my youth in the bush. I love nature. I also enjoy a lot of things about the city and I just go camping on weekends. A city of 150k is barely a city tbh. You're getting the crowds and shit without the actual benefits of concerts and other cool shit you don't get in the country.
Cities literally haven't served a productive purpose in like 60 years kek unless you consider spewing constant corruptions and propaganda all over the world.. what are you living in the past where you think cities are filled with factories? kek no they are filled with corporate circumlocution offices, media outlets, and marketing departments. In fact I would argue they are the actual leeches. Mostly cubicles ans service industry now. Most suburbs develop from cheap housing being slapped up because of actual business growth in medium sized towns- or they are slapped up to facilitate housing for those who work in urban marketing departments.
Ah yes the ol hustle and bustle. What concerts are you going to? Spottemgottem? Yung Troon? Lol give me a break. Cities are literally just big open sores and the bigger the worse they are. Also anyone who actually loved living in the woods would off themselves before going full city slicker seriously it is a form of prison to most of us.
The internet you're using wouldn't exist without technicians and the citiots that run the company. Suburbs are tax negative leeches who all work in the nearest city while being subsidized by those city taxes.
Rural is tax negative but farmers are essential.
Cities and small towns is all you need. Cities to be commercial hubs rural to grow food and ideally have production if that hadn't all gone overseas.
As for your gay ass hustle bustle comment I'm in my 30s I don't know a single mumblerap song. What the hell do you do for fun if you never leave the woods.
>The internet you're using wouldn't exist without technicians and the citiots that run the company.
this would be a net positive for the entire world
Ok so you're just a teddy k type.
look my nephew was over the other day and we went outside to play. 5 minutes in he's asking for the ipad
I don't give a shit about your moronic newphew. That's not on the iPad that's on your useless brother or sister.
Kids in my generation were glued to the tv while I was outside in the forest. That's because my parents weren't useless.
i assure you it would not. consumer tech is used badly by customers. the tool itself is sound.
the tool cannot be separated from those who use it badly
pffft. so a hammer cannot be separated from someone who kills a guy with a hammer? pseud take
This. The internet was much cooler when it wasn't massively corporatized and ~~*sterilized*~~. Giving normalgays internet access was a fricking mistake.
I'm using the internet to kill time and frick off when I should be working but if you told me we could undo the internet and make it disappear over night I'd take that deal in a heart beat. I genuinely mean that- trying to come up with some tech good you think I couldn't do without in order for me to appreciate cities is just the wrong tact.
You'd get close to making me appreciate cities if you pitched them as some type of containment zone for criminals atheists etc.

Luddites are morons who are scared of a round earth. Things evolve. You'll just have to deal with that. We should've kept the inna'net restricted to being only accessible with PCs, laptops, maybe even PDAs. The ~~*smartphone*~~ was a death knell to human individuality.
>You'd get close to making me appreciate cities if you pitched them as some type of containment zone for criminals atheists etc.
I mean, if we just treated them as such, that'd be based.
Eh there's different 'severity levels' of city. A city can be a city without being New York or Tokyo or Moscow. Huge capital cities are always degenerate, I can agree
I ride a bike to work at night and honestly I don't get car drivers, why so many of them are willing to potentially murder me just to get home a minute earlier? Really, most people shouldn't be allowed to drive
Do you at least wear lights and a bright colored thing at night
Yes, doesn't change anything, they get awfully close to me for no reason, and sometimes I'm pretty sure some buttholes willingly go close just to scare the cyclist
night riding is COMFY
Sure is, feeling the wind on my face and riding the bike without fear of sweating like a pig, I love it.

For anyone that's arguing they aren't c**ts, go into a bike shop sometime. I have no idea why these gays think they're superior.
I'M SUCH A BIG MANLY MAN SO I HATE BICYCLES AND CYCLISTS AND I REALLY WANT FOR AN ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN AND TO KILL SOME RANDOM PERSON GOING TO WORK ON A BIKE BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT MEN DO. WHY ARE CYCLISTS SUCH c**tS BTW?
I'm a bicyclist and I have shot and killed three cagies in self-defense after they attempted to run me off the road. I have a gopro so the courts let me off the hook every time. Sorry kids, your dad burns in hell now!
We all know this isn't true because even a holstered gun is not aero and no true cyclist would ever go out with somehting that is not aero
I actually built in a pipe gun into my handlegun.
handlebars*
it was real in your mind
A Real Cyclist would never bring something as un-aero as a gun on a ride. Nice try, tho.
>zoomer sharts can"t afford cars
>"guys please join us on r/frickcars, did you know europe has LANES for BIKES"
keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek wait til they find out their country is bigger than copenhagen
Do you need to cross a large portion of your country to get to a store or work?
They really are Copenhagen to the max.
These idiots fail to realize that it's SPENDING POWER they need more of, not le wage.
So now everyone on fit hates cities too, so I assume everyone is buying large single family homes in the suburbs where they are doing their 250k a year software engineering jobs right?
Now? Hates them now? Like it's a new thing on IST? Get the frick back to reeeeeddit you moronic homosexual, take your rainbow flag, your cuck porn, your fricking vape, your face diaper, frick off, and stay where you belong with the rest of the idiots.
>no one:
>pol homosexual: KEK PORN!!!!!!
Nta but I actually hate city people. I mean American, Russian, German, Bong, etc. I don't really give a frick about that shit (bants aside) but city people v rural people is something I actually care about.
I bike every day. I wear a shirt, shorts, and backpack. I try my best to be considerate and stay in the bike lane and don’t run light or any of that stuff. Unfortunately sometimes the bike lane changes from the shoulder to in between a straight lane and right turn lane so I have to go across a lane to get back into the bike lane
I started cycling to work for gainz in the summer, every spandexed up actual cyclist I met was insufferable to talk to and just an all around prick, but everyone I’ve met that complains about them is also an insufferable moron that can’t drive for shit. You should both kys.
guess im to sexy in my white lycra
I'm that butthole that larps as a bike messenger riding my brakeless stack bike trough traffic at high speeds. When I'm not doing that I'm destroying public property by grinding every handrail and ledge in sight on my bmx.
Whatever you might think about obnoxious cyclists, the bottom line is that getting around on a bike is based and objectively a IST thing to do and if you disagree you're on the wrong board.
Good bike infrastructure like separated lanes or off street paths are good things for cities to spend money on. The easier you make it for people to get around town safely on a bike, the more people will do it. That means more people getting exercise and less people creating traffic. We're in the middle of a damn obesity epidemic because people can hardly move anymore. Biking is a great way to get people moving because they can make something necessary like transportation into something beneficial too like exercise.
Compared to building and maintaining a road for cars, a path for bikes is much easier for a community to finance, build, and maintain. High quality bike lanes can pass through many areas unsuited for car travel, and often more directly. They take up little space, don't contribute to noise pollution, and last tremendously long before needing maintenance because of the reduced wear and tear compared to a street for cars. Basically, bike paths are an amazing investment for any city to consider.
Yeah, the buttholes in spandex look moronic, but for every one of them you notice there are probably a dozen regular cyclists who do their best to avoid cars and follow traffic laws.
Brutal mog…
Not gonna read the thread full of seething internet tough guy carcuck wagies
Is this IST?
Baste
Most places don't have separate bike lanes, if cargays wanted the road to themselves they should press their local politicians to put them in, it's not even that hard.

OH LOOK ANOTHER PERSON KILLED ON A MOTORCYCLE. BUT NO, IT'S BICYCLES THAT ARE DANGEROUS
Honestly even with no one else around, motorcycles are genuinely dangerous. Going 70mph + with nothing really encasing or strapping in your squishy body is a recipe for death
I ride bikes every day. I ride on the side of the road or sidewalk. It's very simple to ride and keep the flow of traffic moving along.
>crybaby cagies vs crybaby lycra twinks
Good thread.
lmao. im assuming this dude is being a parody. if the french are really this insufferable they deserve to get hit
All of French society is built around being insufferable. They're only ever polite because if you rage it means the other person was better at being insufferable than you.
Effeminate selfish behavior. Total road parasites.
I'm not american so I don't have any issues from or with cyclists.
Big problem in my city in Scotland is any bike infrastructure built is 100% built to fill a green quota, designed and approved by some local council obese goblin. For example on a main road near me which was 4 lanes wide, they designated a lane each side just for bikes (and buses)
Problem is this road does not link up to any other bike lanes so people don't use it and there is only 1 bus an hour, so basically cut the traffic capacity by 50% for no reason, no wonder cagies seethe at times.
Luckily though I live by one of the national cycle routes which does give miles of unbroken cycle lanes, great for walks with the family, biking, running and getting stabbed
Its the same as those gays who ride electric scooters. They think their fricking toys (bikes and scooters) are as respectable as a owning a fricking car and they think is okay make you be late to work or to frick their moms because they want "to be respected". My grandpa used to honk them to death and shout at them "GO TO A FRICKING PARK TO PLAY WITH THAT THING, homosexual". Granpas are full of wisdom.
'Owning' a car is basically just allowing the state to be able to control and arrest you easier.
No one owns a car really, especially in america.
If you park 'your' car where the state doesn't want then they take the car and make you pay them.
If the state doesn't like the look of you you can be killed for simply driving a car.
With a car you can go anywhere. With a bicycle you are forced into the concrete hell.
Your legs + a rough terrain bike can get more places than cars
A rough terrain bike goes on a trail but cannot go 1/10th the places my feet can go in the woods. Bike trails aren't the woods.
Thats why I said legs + bike. The human form is the absolute most free and capable of going anywhere it chooses, bikes just add convenience and speed in certain types of places.
Why even take the bike then when I have my legs?
Bikes generally go faster than legs
Most places youre going with your legs are probably paved, so a bike can get you there a lot faster. I actually prefer walking to biking, Ive just been arguing in favor of bikes since the thread is about car-onlyists hating on bikes when theyre fine. Anything that works for bikes also is usable by my feet too, I cant walk down a fast road though.
We were talking about a terrain bike innawoods and where I spend my time time or take walks it is literally never paved.
In the woods I would wager it is ultimately slower and alot more trouble than just walking.
Its not a toy just because it doesnt cost you several hundred dollars a month (minimum)
OHHHHHHH NOOOOOO I AM GOING TO BE HECKIN LATE AND HERSCHEL LIEBERMAN WILL SCOLD ME
>cycling shirtless for them D gains on my shitty 15 year old rusty mountain bike
>brutally mogging lycra twinks and their plastic helmets
I hope those goggles match your purse, gaylord.
I too never understand the lycra and helmet homosexualry. Biking in regular fitness shorts and a T-shirt works fine and looks much more normal. Perhaps it's gonna chafe after a few hours of riding?
When you do 50km+ rides you need proper shorts, they have padding for your arse or it gets shredded. Wearing a proper jersey is also a lot more comfy than a sweaty cotton shirt, also don’t underestimate aero gains.
tl;dr most of IST doesn’t do cardio and can’t cycle for more than 20 minutes
Double up on your period pad and use a stationary for cardio.
There. I saved you from buying shecklebergs spandex and helmet along with containing your moronicness by 4 walls.
Any bike rider who calls himself a "cyclist" is a massive homosexual. When I ride a bike I just use the sidewalk or walking path in the park, I'm not moronic enough to use the road
if you don't ride in the middle of the road, random cars will try to sideswipe you in their desperate attempt to make their commute 0.001 seconds shorter

>I hate cyclists because they are always in my way
>no, you can't build seperate bikelanes for cyclists
>its because they just don't work okay.
>I hate cyclists because they are always in my way
This seems to be a problem only in Muttland. Subhuman homosexual fatniggs. Every single Mutt should be burned alive.
they’re c**ts in europe too. and i ride my bike to work.
yeah, its always burgers seething about bikes. Not all burgers but there is a breed of burgers that do. Cycling is a predominant white sport and activity so you can guess where the seething comes from
how come people think that seperate bike lanes dont work. It clearly works in Western Europe and the Nordic countries where cycling is really popular.
So does cycling create insufferable people or does it attract insufferable people?
Yes but you're a fat c**t
I like mountain biking road cycling seems boring and not fun to me I’d rather ride in the woods and do jumps than constantly peddle on flat ground while almost dying from cars five times a ride
You're supposed to cycle in the center of the lane because it makes you visible and gives you space to avoid hazards.
But as mentioned, just build usable cycle lanes and everybody is much happier and also less congestion on the road for cars since more people will choose to cycle if they aren't dodging cages on every journey.
If you're a cyclist I'm going to tailgate you like a couple feet away. Best not slow down too quick or you're going under
imagine hating cycling as a high iq person

Are you capable of making a post without babbling about israelites and blacks?
I like how people here are completely and utterly schizophrenic. You must chose either cagie or lycra. You can't have both for different situations.
Just use your bike for everyday stuff and your car to go to the supermarket, travel, when its raining, etc.
Everything on fit is black and white. There is no middle ground. You’re either 100% this, or 100% that. The concept of someone having a car for normal things, and then having a bike to ride like on weekends in a bike group for Exercise, socializing, enjoyment is completely lost on them. People here seem to think that people who bike just don’t own cars and are completely militant anti-car
It’s a symptom of the debilitating autism everyone here has.
Shit I said “black or white”, now a rant about race is going to start
What do you mean "black and white", are those the only two races you can think of?
I really never see any of the shit I read on this board. Might be that I'm not a burger lard but the only people I see cycle in the middle of the street are senior citizens or hobos and in that case it's hard to classify them as cyclists or disrespect them like that.
I didn't read anything in this thread, but as a person who has done century rides for a decade and used to commute to work on a bicycle, I'll say that just as the drivers around you are varied in their skill, ability, entitlement, conscientiousness, and actual understanding of the rules, it's the same for cyclists. Some are good and try not to ruin everyone's day or get themselves killed and they follow rules of road safety. Others say frick you I'm on a bicycle watch out and break every rule possible and feel persecuted by all drivers, good or bad. Doesn't really matter how many or how few bike lanes you have, this is a problem of human nature. Vehicles and bicycles don't mix well and never will.
Dam there's a lot of mental illness in this thread. Stop being so mad about things
Sometimes I see a group of them and I want to strike them like bowling pins
Wah wah
Cry about it in an anonymous forum, cageoid
Btw i am entitled to that road as much as you
You say this but if a dumb teenager is on her phone and hits me, it costs me nothing. If she hits you, your breathing days are over. Mountain bike like a real man and you won’t have to worry about the goodwill and attention span of zoomers on the road.
Why don't you just slow down? There's no reason to drive so fast.
>fat amerimutt mad at bikes thread number 9999
Why do conservatards shit their pants at the mere mention of a walkable city? Why do you hate walking? Or are you afraid of walking?
Who pays you to shill this stuff?
How does one shill a walkable city? Or do assume because the American automobile industry created the shill environment you live in that there must be a counter shill movement to it?
Either way, you seem super butthurt. You're probably not, but I just wanted to tell you that you come off like you're afraid of walkable cities. Which would be just laughably pathetic, even by IST standards.
It's the fact that for such a topic that's soooo revolutionary and proletariat, it's odd that israelitetube channels like NJB aren't quickly silenced like anyone who regularly explains the illogical nature of the Holocaust. In fact, they're supported by NWO organizations.
Has it really never occurred to city dwellers that some people just hate cities altogether? Not a certain type or size city... just all cities no exceptions?
Honestly whatever we can do to make cities as terrible as possible for the morons that live in them is a positive thing imho. So if you can pitch me a good reason bike lanes and walkable cities will make city people misreable... then and only then will I support them.
You can have a walkable rural city/town/village you idiot. Walkable city doesn't mean that's all there is. Jesus christ you morons.
Because everyone on fit is autistic they are incapable of seeing anything outside of black and white, 0% or 100%. Someone can’t even describe where they live as a city, which is usually just a catch all term for any city/town, without flying into a seething frothing rage thinking they mean New York City and some crime ridden filthy shithole. It’s pretty funny actually
Kek look you fricking donut are you literally so petrified of actually having complete and total privacy- far away from other people- that you cannot even imagine people living that way and being happy to do so?
Privacy is fine. What are you babbling about? What does that have to do with living in a walkable town? Why are you against walking to public places? LIke you don't even want to to walk to church with your fellow worshippers? Fricking scum
I'm an agnostic and I agree with the christ larper. I like owning more than a single apartment as my living space. I also like having a vehicle that can outspeed an APC or a similar ordinance vehicle if I'm deemed a bad goy.
What does any of that have to do with living in a walkable area?
My house is walkable kek I walk from the house to the barn or the woods 20 times a day what does that have to do with walkable cities though?
I actually live a 1/2 mile from a little country church in the middle of nowhere even though I am currently somewhat backslidden, it's actually like one of the only things near me kek so that was a really poor example choice- bad luck though could have very easily been 10 miles down the road.
Anyways look when I step outside my back door I feel like a king as a far as I can see. Nothing but the woods and me, my old lady, and my dog. That feeling is impossible to ever replicate and city/town people etc. and their pseudo city golems (who have adopted their ways) drew the battle lines long before any of these current politics and stuff ever existed.
Lycra wearing dyel manlet road cyclist here.
Love cruising on out of town roads.
Don't care about wagies in cagies being all ragies.
ITT: obese cagies malding about being late to work kek
You know, one day you're gonna piss off a "cagie", and that cagie will only be obese according to BMI. Total lanklet annihilation.
>You know, one day I’m gonna actually be a dyel skinny "cagie", and I will only be obese according to IST standards. On that day I will finally be able to walk more than 50 ft from my car to the burger king entrance without getting exhausted
Talk shit to me when you can bench 1pl8 for reps homie, just because you're literally skin and bones doesn't mean everyone else is obese.
I like to cycle to work in summer as well, but I agree that there's nothing more obnoxious than obsessive cyclists who block the roads. I can understand when they do it while there's no alternative path, but where I live, there usually is one.
