Roughly speaking...a gas powered bike is when people mount an internal combustion engine fueled by gasoline on a bicycle which is then used as the primary power source for locomotion. ;)

True, of course a human powered bike can get you from A - B as well, but I'm sure most people who have those things aren't thinking in those terms.

My experience with them is that they're for people who want to get from point A to point B as fast as they can, with as little effort, while not being allowed to operate a motor vehicle (which is strange because it's a vehicle with a motor) due to mental or legal issues.

Riders that give me the stink eye when I give the 2 finger wave or a nod.
Walkers that tell me to slow down when I'm only going 15mph and even let them know I'm coming up.
Runners with headphones that are dead center in the path.
People that walk their dogs off leash.

People who sell their new bikes on craigslist and only knock off $100 from what they paid. Yes I definitely want your last year model bike with only 200 miles ridden on it and no warranty for 100 off. No, your plethora of cheap accessories do not increase the value of your bike. By the way, what size is it since you failed to put that in the description with your stock photo.

MAJOR pet peeve here!

If it isn't blocking my lane, I DON'T CARE PEOPLE! MOVE IT!

Another redundancy that drives me batty is "Software Program". Please...

In NY, they'll do that to gawk at a guy changing a flat, or a cop writing a ticket. :lol:

What on earth is "give me the stink eye"???

Giving you a look that does nothing to hide the contempt they have for you.

People who wave at me.

People who don't wave back.

The wave.

That's another one. The trooper already has someone pulled over. People see this and freak for some reason.

WTF do you need to slam on the brakes for when you weren't in the right lane or even going over the speed limit to begin with?

People who drive like maniacs in construction zones.

If you're on a stretch of multi lane highway with k-rail on both sides that's 3" from the edges of the lanes, do you really think it's a good idea to be going 80 weaving through traffic when the speed limit is 55 and there are big orange signs flashing WARNING NO SHOULDER AND LANE SHIFTS NEXT 2 MILES?

Friendly cyclists... :notamused:

Hello. Great day for a ride.




STFU.

LTHU--------L stands for lighten...

Winters blues getting to ya?

Cyclists who don't stop at stop signs when there are cars there. They make all of us look bad!

No foolin'. Especially if its on the OTHER SIDE!

True story. Riding my bike to work on a 2 lane road. Some kind of clustermug involving 2 cars that had apparently hit each other, and a CHP officer overseeing it. Car driving co-worker who follows the same route later asked me "Did you figure out what happened?". My reply: "No, it wasn't in my way, so I didn't look". Because I ride or drive to GET THERE. I don't give a rolling red rat's rubber rectum about what's going on on the side of the road. If it isn't in my way, I ignore it.

80MPH? No. But I don't see the need to slow down to a crawl either. K-rail 3 inches away doesn't concern me - I know how to control my vehicle.

People who call cyclists bikers or cyclers

Or, "are you going Biking? "

People who think that charity rides are races.

People who think races are charity rides.

People.

long term forum members that hold too much stock in their opinions.
