I hate cyclists. They arrogantly hog the road, look ridiculous in those stupid lycra suits and pompously they think they're so much better than people who *shock!* "merely" go for walks. In fact when I drive and see cyclists I fantasize about running them over.

Isn't that really dangerous? How are the 'roadkill' numbers. Or are people in cars carefull about bicyclists?

bikes have the same rights as cars, i.e. right over left, etc. and people are more caring for each other in europe than in the US.

Yeah I know, I live in the Netherlands, but I was replying to ahda81. This couragous dude rides his bike in the U.S., which seems dangerous to me.

awsome cities, i cant help but worry to look out reckless driver when i am ridng my bike in the U.S. I wish the country can be more like those cities

I think that the majority of Copenhagen bicycle commuters drive less than 5 kilometers to work, but of course some drive longer.

Read The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith. Also NYC forces small dairy farmers to pay for 75% of all city expenses, and so all the farmers are going bust. So NYC is running out of land owners to tax the crap out of. My uncle gave up farming five years ago. That is socialism for yah!

Well, bikes are not very practical for my job but I can use it for short trips.
