Verily I say unto you, he flew away like a rockette [sic].

According to Merriam-Webster:

Definition of intoxicated

_______________

***AFFECTED***

3 beers enough to affect driver, no?

Especially those who ride the line, fucking idiots. Hug the curb if you value your life, your ego and shitty fuckin bike will never win a battle against any vehicles. or those retards who want to ride 3 or 4 side by side, darwinism at its best.

I was only *kidding* in this post, right?! I wrote this as a test, out of facetiousness, just to show a certain person's partiality when voting. If Ian wrote crap like this—or worse—it would be okay, right?

Of course that is not how I feel—there's nothing funny about a person dying.

My heart goes out to the cyclist and his family.

Bicyclist almost made it to safety. He should have downshifted the gears.

Interesting aside, Cream was on tour in the 1960's and were watching a bike race, maybe the Tour de France. The Scottish champions heart exploded and he died during the race. Jack Bruce asked "what happened?" and a roadie answered "maybe he was using those Disraeli gears" and a classic album title was born

Now, I'm sure I'm going to get a lot of hate for this—but reason rises above all things.

You are not a pedestrian when you ride a bike on the road. Even if you come from the sidewalk and ride your bike across the pedestrian crossing, you are in the wrong. You are supposed to get off and walk it over to have the right as a pedestrian crossing the road. You need to signal, stop for lights and follow the basic rules that applies to the road. Just imagine it was a moped. Same thing.
