Road-rage with cyclist and van driver escalates into brawl

Yes in Manchester the cyclists can get a bit lairy. Just warning y'all - they're sometimes armed with water bottles or a pump

I get in fights with drivers all the time, most of them are too pussy to get out of the car. I had a meals on wheels driver run away from me. Apparently here in New York you have to actually get hit for the police to do anything.

I'm glad bicyclists in the UK are well hard because US bicyclists are a bunch of 6mph in a 55mph limp-dicks.

Cyclists are loving retarded. It's like they legit believe the rest of the world will stop for them and only them. There was that biker who thought a train would slow down for him to cross over past the guard rails that the turned around. Of course he got his poo poo stuffed in by a god drat loving train!

The only people I see defend cyclists are other cyclists and people who live in suburbs and don't have to deal with cyclists. Anyone who has lived in a major city knows cyclists are insufferable assholes.

I live in the suburbs. The county put in beautiful 4 foot wide asphalt paths along the side of the road for cyclists and every single Lance Armstrong wannabe still rides their loving bike on the road. It's insane and I am happy whenever I hear about a cyclist getting killed by a car. It makes me laugh a little and brightens my day.

that's because if you are riding fairly fast it's still safer and better to be in the street, because the path is usually full of people walking their dogs on 20ft leashes and little kids that are barely supervised

That's not true at all. The paths are completely empty. But I guess if they keep riding on the road and getting killed it will improve my mood because I like seeing bad people get what they deserve.

That must be nice but cyclists don't always want to share lanes with pedestrians. Obviously sharing traffic with slower moving travelers is a valid concern (as it is between drivers and cyclists), but in general walking people are much less predictable than cyclists, and may stop, turn, double up, or whatever, and will react to the sound of a bike's bell by stepping in any direction. There are a lot of reasons cyclists don't want to share space with pedestrians, though paths like the ones you describe are appreciated anyway.

Where I ride is mostly country, and when there are paths they tend to be on just one side of the road, forcing me (depending on my direction) to have to cross traffic to get to them; and then they only go for a mile or so before ending and forcing me back across traffic to the implied bike lane on the road. That's all more dangerous than just sticking to the road, which I do

I like it when cyclists get hit by a car, get injured, and still get a ticket because the injury was their own drat fault. Of course it would be ideal if they didn't get a ticked because the injury was fatal, but I'll take knowing these spandex wearing weirdos are in pain. :)

Cyclists are horrible and shouldn't deserve to share the road with cars if they're not going to obey traffic laws

And if you're going to say some Cyclists obey traffic laws, pls stop lying to yourself.
