~cyclists~ like that guy are why people assume the worst about anyone on a bike. A vehicle only capable of 15 mph does not belong on a 35+ road. Limping a car to a shop or safe place to tow it is an exception, but doing it on purpose just to piss people off is not. The lack of safe bike paths is a genuine issue that needs to be addressed but that is not a valid excuse to turd up a major roadway.

That kind of makes it hard to go on any bike ride ever. Seriously, boo loving hoo if you have to slow down slightly for a short period of time. What is it about being behind the wheel that brings out the inpatient, selfish rear end in a top hat in everyone? Oh, and today, I rode my bike on roads with no shoulder and speed limits up to 55mph in a fairly big group. There was even a trail for part of it that we did not ride on. Somehow no one was really inconvenienced. jamal fucked around with this message at 04:53 on Apr 7, 2016 |

Javid posted:~cyclists~ like that guy are why people assume the worst about anyone on a bike. So car and motorcyclists hobbists get to take over a road to the point that it is unusable for transportation (seriously the snake is a loving mess in the summer) but one bike slows people down for 2 minutes and they're assholes? Last time I went to the snake, for my last weekend in socal, I didn't get to go because some idiot in a car ran into a motorcycle and closed the road. A few weeks earlier, another nearby road was closed due to a fatal where a car club member drove off the road. Closing it for the day. That road even had houses (unlike the snake) so those people couldn't get home. The malibu canyon residents aren't complaining about the cyclists, they're complaining about the drivers and motorcyclists who think these roads are race tracks.

Just watch the rest of that guy's videos to see the real problems with that and other malibu roads. it's not bicycles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHFUI1tyC8k I'll admit to having driven fast on those roads and others in the LA area numerous times. But not really ever on a weekend during the day. We used to go up thurs nights after the car meet, so like midnight or later. No bikes, minimal traffic, really the only people we were a hazard to was ourselves.

How long do you all wait behind someone at a green before honking? I actually had the presence of mind to count and I think about it at 3 seconds, and honk at 5. Time really does slow down at stop lights.

Oddly, it seems like if I'm behind someone not going at green, it's always the car behind me (3rd car in line) that honks first but the 1st car always thinks it's me. Then I think about adding my honk, but usually don't. I just think, I'm glad he honked so I didn't have to. Thanks impatient fellow motorist for pulling the trigger I could not.

I do it pretty quickly, but I also try to do it as a friendly "beep beep" rather than "HOOOOOOOOOOONK GO rear end in a top hat". At least I hope it's interpreted that way.

I had hella supertones (the german made ones even) on my old car, wired with a relay. They were LOUD. One time on the freeway a van started to change lanes into me, I hit them, he freaked out and over reacted and ended up in the next lane over.

That one thing I really like about my car. The horn's not ridiculously loud but it sounds meatier than most car horns. It's firmly midrange with a bit of bass and it sounds like it means business. It's no Mercedes 600 horn though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMNlAbUeTuk Disgruntled Bovine fucked around with this message at 22:16 on Apr 7, 2016 |

My VW horn is really drat loud, at least when compared to the anemic horn on my old Corolla. If I honk at all people assume I am super pissed and tend to get ragey. What I sometimes do is just flash my brights instead as a "hey idiot, pay attention' gesture. It doesn't work quite as well but I get brake checked less often.

What cars need is broadcast emoji. Instead of using a horn you press a smiley to indicate your mood and it pops up on a screen on the dash of everyone around you.

Pretty sure there is a Japanese concept car that displays a colour, depending on your mood - i.e. if you are happy, the front of the car is green. If you are mad, red.

Those fuckers are LOUD. You need to make sure you get all 4 horns out of the car, but it's totally worth it.
