Probably get a ticket, 3 months probation and a spot on a local MAGA talkshow as a guest hero

A couple of years ago I traded time and distance away for safety. My route now adds about two kilometers to my ride but it’s far safer.

“cyclists should not be in the road if there is no bike lane or in an area with sidewalks that are rarely used”

$10 says he stopped at the gas station to grab more beers. Such a kick-ass story that the cyclists went into overdrive, able to stay with him until he stopped, then hopefully (in my mind) beat his ass and dragged him back to the scene.

At least he didn’t roll coal before hitting them?

It says suspected drunk driver. If they were just wasted, that doesn’t equate to attempted murder. Murder requires intent to kill 

They were descending at 4000ft/min, and 400ft is like 10% of 4000ft.

We are not talking length, but height. But since you want to talk length, the wing span is around 117 feet, which means they were 3 wingspans and 50ft from splashing.

I can’t tell if you're being serious or this is some weird sarcasm/joke I’m not in on

Motherfuckers. Dirt bags. I had a $1,800 Miyata Ridge Runner Team stolen out of my vehicle in fucking Santa Ana CA in the very late 80s. I loved that bike. It was a super short stop and everything was locked up tight. Didn’t matter. Smashed my windows. Motherfuckers.

Why in the world would you spend used car money on a bicycle? Just buy a car at that point!

SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS for a used car?!? why in the world would you spend new-car-down-payment money on a used car? you can get a perfectly fine used car for like $2000!

How American of you.

They used to hang horse thieves.

Woof. That’s a big question. I think at some point if you have the right fundamentals on a bike then it just becomes a matter of marginal gains with price increase (some wide margins, some narrow), but riding and trail style factors in as well.

For example, if you’re willing to spend around $1k on a new hardtail mountai…

Better parts, hopefully better geometry, less weight, better components, less friction in the parts, and nicer materials.

What a stupid take. You know what else can shorten your race car driving season / career / life? Racing a car.

Riding bicycles is incredibly fucking dangerous

Are you serious?

Even among sovereign citizens, that’s a special kind of stupid.
