Lovin' the vagueness of this thread title and the fact that people can't decide if its about bicyclists or motorcyclists

Why cyclists getting run over is more entertaining IMO

I would counter that motorcyclists are way more annoying and also get run over with a much greater frequency

also you still said cyclist so thank you for providing a picture because "cyclist" really doesn't narrow it down

doesn't help that they both wear super retarded clothes

Bikes were the midlife crisis thing my dad decided on. He rides an early 40's Indian Scout to work these days, so basically this thing:



His hygiene has fallen off a cliff but he doesn't drink anymore and seems way happier so I guess it's a win. Cooler than dudes vrooming on Suzukis or leather daddies on choppers.

Motorcycles are actually cool and fun and can be relatively safe if you aren't a big idiot out to beat everyone on the road and actually take responsibility for learning how to properly ride.

Hope this helps!!!

Despite being 35 times more likely to have an accident they're actually less likely to get run over in any given accident because 25% don't even involve another vehicle.

Oh. I came to the thread thinking you were stupidly using the term "Bikers" to refer to bicycle riders over the age of 16 (The proper term is "Candyass"). Turns out you're just stupid, though.

Sometimes you are in an unsafe situation on the freeway though and the best response is to loving goose it and get the gently caress outta there, you'll break the speed limit but this way you can get yourself in between groups of cars and that's the safest place to be (aside from just not being on a goddamned motorcycle!)


Other than that though idk

Given that the club was founded in 1948, I doubt that.

On the other hand, motorcycle clubs were a valuable way for men who like leatherclad men to meet and socialize back when such things were taboo. Too bad that AIDS tore through the scene the way it did. Now all we have is a bunch of suit-wearing couples who want to get married instead of challenging heteronormative institutions through the propaganda of the deed.
