A man is not a man until that very man has himself traveled across the country by bicycle and along the way ate out of dumpsters, slept in graveyards and ran thousands of red lights.


It's only then.. that you will see that life is in fact.. beautiful!

Anyone out early in the morning on a bike is a big time target. Running stop lights is your decision. I like to give my opinion on things but I don't lecture anyone. People can be smart or stupid. Myself I'm not into stupid and risk taking.

Work is for losers? Great mentality. I believe people who don't work are still called 'bums'.

As I tend to work a year and take a year off myself, I have to agree with AdrianFly on this one. Not owning a car is a huge piece of the financial puzzle that keeps me from spending all of the money I make on "stuff". I also don't drink alcohol or colas, smoke, play the Lotto, have kids, pets, or a mortgage. When I work, all I can think about is what I am working towards - my next "retirement", however long that may last. Henry Thoreau had another word for typical working folks.

… men labor under a mistake. The better part of the man is soon plowed into the soil for compost. By a seeming fate, commonly called necessity, they are employed, as it says in an old book, laying up treasures which moth and rust will corrupt and thieves break through and steal.

"This is why I ride fast and stop for nothing…" Blah, blah blah. Nice excuse but the truth is you like flaunting the law and getting away with it. You get off on it. If you lived in the safest place imaginable where EVERYONE obeyed traffic laws you would still blow through red lights and stop signs. Because your "Momentum" is ever so much more important than anything anyone else is doing, or any rule of law. I've been reading his crap for years and arguably Joeybike is the most selfish poster here.

It's easy to say how others should cycle and obey the law to the letter when you live in a civilized country. And if you ignore the facts on the ground in NOLA you might get a baseball bat in the chops.

This stuff happens all the time but very rarely makes headlines here. This is small potatoes compared to the crime here on a regular basis.
I don't disagree one bit about riding fast. But running the lights, is not only illegal. An unsuspecting motorist, could end up doing, what the two assailants' almost did to the cyclists'.

Besides inside of your head, where is this safest place imaginable where EVERYONE INCLUDING MOTOR VEHICLES obeys traffic laws? I have traveled all over the USofA by bicycle and motor vehicle and have yet to find such a place.

My promise to you and everyone here: The day comes when I can drive a car from New York to Los Angeles and even HALF of the motor vehicles on the road are driving AT or BELOW the posted speed LIMIT - I will stop my bicycle for every red light for the rest of my life.

Well, this guy is the reason why cyclists should have licenses and license plates

By his logic, most motorists are a hazard. That would generally extend to cyclists, who probably have a similar proportion of morons, especially most cyclists are also drivers, but many are ignorant of cycling laws or simply ignore it like JoeyBike.

It's also this pervasive need to automatically blame any wrongdoings on the motorist.

Cause unknown? Must be the motorist.
Both at fault? Motorist should have taken more care.
Cyclist at fault? Yeah, but if the motorist was driving more slowly/carefully he could have avoided the accident.

As such, it's almost impossible to improve the situation because cyclists rarely take full responsibility for their actions. Acting as the victim ALL THE TIME simply muddies the water and does little to force cyclists to look themselves in the mirror, thus encouraging people like Joeybike.

I've little doubt if he ever gets into an accident due to his own 'need for speed', he would deny all responsibility.

In all fairness, we have no evidence that Joeybike has ever had or caused an accident. So while some may feel that he creates hazards, he's not exactly a poster boy for the need to regulate bicycles.

For all we know his skills may be excellent, allowing him to ride like an idiot without actually being one.

That is a lot of assumptions considering we have never met or biked together.

Everyone breaks traffic laws. EVERYONE.

(By Everyone I mean that those who NEVER break the law represent a statistical zero in the USofA - so Everyone represents a statistical Everyone)

I'm not accusing JoeyBike of lacking skills (not that anyone knows for sure)... it's just the not-as-skilled idiots who would proclaim the same. Unfortunately, no one can tell anyone that they're wrong until an accident occurs.

Heck, I can't even convince my dad not to tailgate on the highway, so I'm pretty sure Internet words are not going to change anything.

If the people who built your bike - and the roads you ride it upon - thought that way, you'd pretty much be SOL, wouldn't you?

Thankfully, there are enough of us working fools around that our society can tolerate a few parasites. A "thank you" every once in a while wouldn't be out of place, though...

As the saying goes, "there are a lot of old pilots, and a lot of bold pilots, but not a lot of old bold pilots". If JoeyBike is as good as he says, more power to him. Drivers don't actually hate cyclists because of him or people like him anyway, though they like to use that as a rationalization. And if JoeyBike isn't that good, well, he'll either get that good or perhaps we'll just suddenly experience radio silence from him one day. You be sure to show respect for pedestrians, JoeyBike. Outside of that, go ahead give 'em hell in the Big Easy.

So... You're afraid of baseball bats while you blow through red lights at 20 mph. Ya, that makes a lot of sense. I've heard some lame and silly excuses in my life, but this takes the cake. As for your "everybody breaks traffic laws" cop-out; all I can say is that I very rarely see vehicle drivers blow through red lights the way you brag about doing. Bicycle riders yes, vehicle drivers no. But then again, this is probably more about bragging rights to you than anything else. Right JoeyBike?

I'll also mention that intelligent and experienced riders, of all skill levels, don't take unnecessary and/or inexcusable risks. This is something that most of us learned by the time we reached our late teens or early 20s.

"It is a fool's life, as they will find when they get to the end of it, if not before." - Henry David Thoreau

No, it is a slackers life.

Btw, do you have catastrophic health care and liability insurance? I know, from what you've said you don't seem to have much to lose. But you still need to think about other people at some point in your "life".

It would make sense if I didn't get misinterpreted around here.

As a general rule I always try to MAINTAIN 20-25 mph as most of our surface streets have speed limits of 20 to 30 mph. This keeps me in the flow of traffic or passing traffic up as I filter a bit slower. Anything above 20mph I feel I get treated as one of "them" in traffic and it becomes more hazardous for "them" to force a pass on me. When there are no cars in sight, like a 2AM for instance, maintaining 20+ gives neerdowells much less time to set up a trap. They have to swing at a fastball instead of a blooper pitch AND any evasive maneuver I make works better at high speed. So it is almost always SAFER for me to go 20+, I get where I am going faster, and I have the capability to do that speed all day. So why not?

As for blowing through red lights at 20mph...maybe if sight lines are good and the coast is clear. Sometimes I have to stop and wait for a gap (or even a green light ) and sometimes I might have to hit 30 to shoot a gap. But the concept is so easy. I just look both ways before crossing the street. I do not pay the slightest attention to the color of road ornaments as it is unlikely that ornament will run me over. And lastly, if a car is going to hit me I simply yield right of way. Been doing it this way since I was 15 and next month I'll be 56. Been car free since 1989 and car light the entire time before that. I figure I run roughly 16,000 red lights each year with my current commute. I really don't take many risks. I just go when I can.


I've heard some lame and silly excuses in my life, but this takes the cake. As for your "everybody breaks traffic laws" cop-out; all I can say is that I very rarely see vehicle drivers blow through red lights the way you brag about doing.
How about speeding on the freeway? Or rolling through stop signs? Or stopping PAST the stop sign? (Most stop signs are placed before the sidewalk, not at the street corner), or stopping in a pedestrian crossing? Or speeding in 20 mph zones? Or parking against traffic on neighborhood streets. EFF the EFFING red lights already. Although where I live one to three cars go through every yellow/red light as a rule. When in Rome...

Bicycle riders yes, vehicle drivers no.
In NOLA your statement would be incorrect.

But then again, this is probably more about bragging rights to you than anything else. Right JoeyBike?
It's about getting where I am going in a reasonable time and raising my chances of survival from a number of hazards including swinging ball bats from the curb. I don't ride next to the curb. I ride in the flow. It's hard to jump into the flow of traffic to hit someone with a bat when the F-10 behind me is going to crush them.

I'll also mention that intelligent and experienced riders, of all skill levels, don't take unnecessary and/or inexcusable risks. This is something that most of us learned by the time we reached our late teens or early 20s.
I take very few risks. You ever cross a busy intersection that is not protected by a red light? Maybe just a stop sign? So tell us how you do it. Do you just wait until there is a gap, then go? This is exactly how I treat EVERY intersection. It is so easy. I don't know how some of you ever get anywhere if you can't just look both ways and cross when there is a gap.

"It is a fool's life, as they will find when they get to the end of it, if not before." - Henry David Thoreau

No, it is a slackers life.
2 million years of humanity would argue with you. "We" only did just enough work to survive for the first 2,000,000 years. It is "natural" for a human to work 10 to 15 hours a week (Reference). Only in the past 10,000 since farming began did the disease called "work ethic" develop to make enslaved people feel better about their situation and get some weird self esteem from it. Keeps the peasants from revolting.

Btw, do you have catastrophic health care and liability insurance? I know, from what you've said you don't seem to have much to lose. But you still need to think about other people at some point in your "life".
Health AND car insurance. I am not a risk taker - other than the fact that I ride a bicycle in a motor vehicle world. I just refuse to play by their rules. Bikes are not cars.
