Are cyclist friends or foe of bikers? When I start riding, I want to know how to treat them. Being a cager, this is how I feel about them now:

Edit 12/25/2013 - This was not intended to be a troll thread. A cyclist friend of mine shared the video with me, and we both had a good laugh. I just wanted you to laugh - brighten up your day.

No differently from any other situation. The video is a little extreme but I know a lot of people think that way ...

Bicyclist following the rules, riding in single file as far right as possible on the road (as required by HTA), stopping at stop signs (!), signalling turns, etc - Not a problem. I give them a wide berth out of courtesy.

Bicyclists riding 3 wide and unnecessarily hogging the road are going to get overtaken with 3 inches of clearance, though.

When those pricks take it upon themselves to occupy more than 1 lane (those mouthbreathers often take up 1.5-2 lanes on leslie between 16th and Gamble in R/H in the spring/summer), I fantasize about Adam Sadler in Big Daddy and an unlimited supply of large sticks.

when there is a very clear sign saying "cyclists single file only" and they are 5 wide, enough said.
 
I hate other cyclists so much that whenever I go for a pedal ride I go by myself!

I wanna go for a ride now...

Thats one pimped up ride, son. Was that bike made after the movie or something?
 
but if you do make sure you wear spandex covered with big name sponsors... even though they haven't given you a cent.

I race in a Michelin jersey just cuz I like it and white is a good colour for hot days on black pavement. Check out that heart rate!
