i hate the majority of bicyclists. not all of them though, so if you’re reading this and none of these annoying habits apply to you, then do not be offended by this because you’re awesome.. if cyclists are going to fight for the same rights as cars or any other vehicles have, arguing that bicycles are in fact vehicles themselves, then that is fine with me. however, it’s probably best they do the following in return so that someone who is significantly less patient (and less aware of their surroundings whilst driving) doesn’t run them over..

• get the fuck off my sidewalk.. wheels belong on the road (unless you’re a small child)
• stop at stop signs… it can’t be that hard, the instructions are right there
• when a light turns red, that does not mean “pedestrians and cars must stop, but may the human beings on two wheels please proceed into oncoming traffic” 
• if a car is making a righthand turn, and it has already moved forward into the intersection, you must proceed around the driver’s side of the vehicle! the number of times i have watched a bicyclist try to rush past a car that is in the intersection, and already turning (we’re talking wheels moving, evidently in motion) on the passenger side is silly… and then they have the audacity to blame the driver when they end up running into the pedestrians crossing the street. nope, that was your fault… go around the car, don’t attempt to fit in the two-foot space between it and a large slab of cement
• you guys have lanes now… please use those lanes, and only those lanes

to all bicyclists who haven’t already done so, please learn the rules of the road that cars are required follow, because they sure as hell apply to you too
