Chicago bike drama part 1, frick boston

It's recently come to my attention that bostonians, culinary home of.... Baked beans...., is disputing Chicago as drama capital of the states.

Chicago bike drama

I was going about 20 MPH with my racing bike in the bike specific lane. A group of 4 mother all with strollers were waiting on the side. When I was about 10 feet from them they decided it was a good time to walk into the path and wall off the entire thing. With the distance they gave me, it was near impossible to stop. I had a near miss by taking the gap between one of them while simultaneously trying to slow down as much as I could. Nearly flipped my bike. Mothers, and anyone else for that matter... please educate yourself enough to know to look both ways and not walk in front of fast moving objects. I don't want to hit you, and I don't want to hit your baby. Good day.

Babies(bikers) VS babies(fetal)

Some choice comment interactions to highlight the fact that OP actually thought he was in the right:

I love how everyone hates this biker.

We can all picture the spandex and the overall douchey demeanor.

I see you’ve chosen to downvote me instead of answering the question I asked you lol…

:marseysexy:

Maybe 20 as fast for you.

Ahh yes the biker snob, the exact spandex wearing idiot that would be defending this behavior.

I bet you can drive so fast on your bike!!

:marseysexy:

Yes! I run on the path year round and cyclists can be crazy aggressive. A couple weeks ago, I checked behind me and ran 100 feet in the bike lane because the pedestrian path was underwater. A cyclist flew by me and screamed at me “THIS IS THE BIKE LANE, THATS THE PEDESTRIAN PATH!” This type of interaction happens to me a lot.

Then use the pediatrian lane. That's why it's there. Shessh. It's not being aggressive but it's fricking irrating to have to navigate folks walking in the bike lane when there is a enough sidewalk for runners and walkers.

"Then swim you pathetic pedestrian, I want to go fast" :marseysonic:

Hardcore cycling is how upper middle class (and above) white people get to pretend how they're an oppressed class of people.

:marseymayo:

Last summer, I had a pregnant woman walk out between cars near Belmont\Lincoln\Ashland after she looked me right in the face. Totally saw me coming...and continued to walk right in front of me. Fortunately, I was not going very fast and was able to stop. Because she proceeded to open her car door in front of me with traffic going by on the left so there was no way to avoid her. Made me wonder if she so casually strolls out in front of cars and trucks and just blithely assumes they're all going to be able to stop in time.

LOL why do bikers all hate babies? Wait... /u/decarp? :marseycarpcrying:Did I get baited?

I saw bike drama in chicago and was hoping it would be sneeding over the moto-chads popping wheelies all through downtown.

Cyclists bitching on rDrama is like seeing grass growing on the news.

Maybe in time. I'm stuck phone posting in poorup so it's hard to make good posts.

I support this, especially when they're not wearing any road rash gear. They're taking themselves off the road eventually. I had a friend who had a BF that crashed doing a wheelie while going 35mph and the road rash he got was gnarly and gross. I can't imagine how bad it gets going faster than that. He didn't ride a bike after that but that may have been because the bike he had got totally wrecked

Reddit speak. Anyway, talk to your therapist about a better coping mechanism because these events happen every year specifically because they’re dangerous and make rich Chicago mayos complain on the news.

The problem with biker drama is there's not nearly enough division. Maybe more so on reddit, but even most redditors agree they're the absolute worst

That path literally has dedicated two way bike lanes. If you walk in front of a bike and get hit it's 100% your fault.

Honestly OP is right, pedestrians there are literally r-slurred.

Pedestrians have the right of way chud. So pump your brakes and wait until it's safe to pass.

A bike hitting you won't kill you, but falling off a bike just might.

Urban cyclists naturally evolve into douchebags because chaotic urban environment combined with cyclist entitlement. Narrow roads and lots of pedestrians (and jaywalkers) and cars suddenly stopping, starting and changing lanes and you have endless accidents waiting to happen.

Chomsky and Netanyahu were born and raised in Philly, Musk used to throw parties in Philly to put himself through Penn, Trump went to Penn too to study business.

Yeah but Penn didn't accept my fiance into their residency programs so screw them.

But seriously, you don't get credit for people who happened to spend 4 years in the city lol.
