Sometimes when I come to a four way stop, I hope a biker will peddle by and not stop for the stop sign (because they never do) just so I can knock them off their bike with my car and laugh at them.

well, here's this thread again

I certainly have opinions on this topic, let me share them.

Bikes are good, I like bikes. They are okay to drive on roads if there are no bike lanes, and people who drive in cars need to understand that bikes are perfectly fine to ride.

Bikes are just cars, but with two wheels. And no motor. They run on the sweat of hard-working commuters. Bikes are Good.

Definitely car people. Contrary to popular belief pedestrians have right of way at a crosswalk, it is not just a suggested place for you to not be a dickhead to people crossing the street.

you found a sensible place to live near your workplace instead of spending 40 minutes in your car each way?

san diego is fun but not needing a car is one of the reasons I moved here, or at least in the 'pro' column

edit: though I meant not having a car, you should still be able to drive and have a license, one not having those does reflect pretty poorly on oneself

when people cross the street not at a designated crosswalk I intentionally maintain my speed to hurry them and make them apprehensive. sometimes I accelerate depending on the distance

There are two stretches of road in my town with bike lanes but drivers treat it as an extra 3 feet of road so it's very dangerous for bikers to use it.

If there are cars parked on the side of the road you're supposed to be 3ft away from them, so you end up riding the left side of the bike lane...
