The only time we have contraflow in the New Orleans area is when there's a hurricane evacuation.  I've never figured out how to get in the proper lane (when the Interstate splits in LaPlace, the right lane goes North and the left lane goes West).  So I just go out the slower (?) older route of the state highway and join the Interstate past the split.

You must kill them! Those cowardly bicyclists! :arrr:

I have come close many times

Yup, me too.

They want all of the rights of the vehicles AND pedestrians. At the same time.

I like riding a bike for excersise. But I don't see a reason to ride it on an asphalt road. Wtf. That takes all the enjoyment out of it.

Bicyclists: Get on my level. Biking paths through woods, around bodies of water. Parks. Make sure you can smell the grass, hear the birds, and breathe the fresh air. Not the fucking car exhaust and all that bullshit.

Not all people have that choice.

People getting back into shape will rider on the streets first.

Perhaps I have Portland blood in me but I feel bicyclists should be respected.

Even in bigger cities theres got to be like a park or something. Riding around with a bunch of cars ruins the experience I think. Fuck cars and traffic. Gimme some nature.

I think bicyclists on the road are fine, IF they respect the rules. Problem is, they rarely do.

  Neighbors who neglect to clean the lint filter of the communal clothes dryer.  This morning, I cleaned four loads'
   worth of lint out of there, in layers of gray and black, good thing  *somebody*  checks or we'd have a fire!  :mad:
