I can go both ways on this.
Bus drivers are morons, but that was some pretty savvy maneuvering there.
Cyclists can be dicks and not obey the laws – the laws of physics: bus is bigger, you lose, get out of the way.
/I’m a cyclist and I hate cyclists who are dicks
February 17th, 2012 at 8:57 AM
Those who ride their bike in the middle of the road deserve to get hit. Especially if there is a sidewalk or bike lane next to you. Your dumbass is endangering other people to crash their cars to get around.
February 17th, 2012 at 8:58 AM
we’ve got a lot of bike lanes around my area, the problem is cyclists never use them, instead they prefer to ride on the well traveled roads with no shoulders, pretending not to notice the traffic issues they are causing.
February 17th, 2012 at 8:59 AM
I wish I had strike through capabilities here, I’d do one where I said a girl dressed like that getting raped was her fault, but I’d strike it through to indicate that that dumb fucking cyclist was intentionally jerking that bus around and deserved to get swept off the street like garbage.
It would be facetious, of course. but that guy was literally slowing down a bus full of people, and a street full of traffic.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:00 AM

The Mets should take him. They don’t have to face great hitters in the NL East except for maybe Ryan Howard and Ryan Zimmerman. He can’t suck THAT bad.

Cyclists have every right the same responsibility to obey the rules of the road as cars.
agreed. from the video, we saw a cyclist obeying the rules of the road, but not quickly enough for the bus driver. is it also okay for the bus to ram a car off of the road if it isn’t driving as quickly as the bus driver wants? It is absolutely shocking that to a man every person on here thinks the driver is in the right.

bus driver was obviously in the wrong in this case, but I think all of us can agree here that just b/c cyclists have the right to the road doens’t mean they all obey the laws or have the common sense to yield to the larger, faster traffic they may be encountering in certain situations.

February 17th, 2012 at 9:20 AM
SS, no the driver doesn’t have the right to inflict injury.
My guess based on the video is the driver may have harbored resentment or frustration against bike riders in general from past encounters. This rider was the unfortunate recipient of the bus driver’s frustration. Don’t make it right, though.
Admittedly, I too have felt the frustration being in traffic/having a near-miss when I am near a rider who ignores rules of the road so “he can keep his heart rate up”.
Difference is, I have to remind myself 1) I don’t wanna go to jail for running over a rider, and 2) if that was a friend or relative on the bike, I would be pissed if a driver ran him/her over.
Both drivers and riders have to be actively committed in following the rules of the road every time. Sharing the road is the right answer.
/blah blah blah
February 17th, 2012 at 9:21 AM
Imagine driving from the Perimeter area of North Atlanta to the North Cobb county suburbs.
I really can hardly imagine that, as I would have assumed it was impossible. Holy cow. Cobb County is about the least bicycle friendly county in a metro area full of counties that are not a bicyclists best friend.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:21 AM
The bus driver should be in jail but that asshole cyclist knew the bus was behind him and still kept going the same speed/didn’t move out of the way.

To clarify, I don’t commute on a bike, but I do ride around the city on weekends quite a bit (DC). but again, by your rationale, should move to the side of the road or speed up every time you’re driving and someone tailgates you. they want to go faster, and you’re in the way.

February 17th, 2012 at 9:28 AM
If the cyclist in that video were in an actual motor vehicle and driving it the way he/she was operating that bike, I would still probably feel no sympathy for them.
Just because a cyclist has a “right to the road”, it isn’t a “right to disrupt traffic” or a “right to cut off motor vehicles”. Know your place on the road and act accordingly.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:28 AM
I suggest self punishment of running over a cyclist. you learn some valuable lessons, but at the same time, it’s a very therapeutic event.

unless I’m mistaken, bikes are suppossed to follow the same rules as any other vehicle, and have just as much right to the roadway as a car or bus (unless it’s on a divided highway or interstate/freeway)

seriously though, cyclists don’t have a right to the road…they have a right to a piece of the road. like, the piece over by the side of the road…you know, out of the way of the vehicles the road was built for.

You must not being watching him very closely, his problem is he cant hit the strikezone. And when he does he hangs pitches over the plate. And hes a headcase.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:34 AM
Just because it’s your “right” doesn’t it’s the right thing to do. Which is don’t be a dickweed.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:34 AM
I suggest self punishment of running over a cyclist. you learn some valuable lessons, but at the same time, it’s a very therapeutic event.
Learning and healing. Well, then.
Sarcasm – the gift that keeps on giving.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:35 AM
I’m talking if it’s not a 2 lane road.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:35 AM
yes, you wealthy industrialist.
good morning varnsen.

unless I’m mistaken, bikes are suppossed to follow the same rules as any other vehicle
One of the rules is to keep up appropriate speed so as not to disrupt the flow of traffic. Get out the effin’ way.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:36 AM
Oh, you mean go into oncoming traffic? Yeah, that’s a possibility, not always an option though.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:36 AM
Which is don’t be a dickweed.
Unfortunately, this law has not passed in GA yet.

To me she’s the human equivalent of a sex doll. She’s got no redeeming cultural or social value other than as a masturbatory fantasy.
well that is about the best way to describe her.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:37 AM
your balls are clearly much bigger than mine.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:37 AM
imagine driving along a two lane road where the speed limit is 55 and there’s a group of cyclists three wide in front of you. also, imagine that this strip of road is between St. Augustine, FL and Ponte Vedra Beach, FL. then, imagine that this happens every single weekend…both weekend days.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:37 AM
Damn, I cant imagine driving along a 45mph road and getting behind a bike going 20.
then you need higher quality drugs.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:38 AM
Even the Amish horse & buggies down here will pull over to the side of the road if they see a buildup of traffic behind them and wait to pull back on.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:38 AM
Now I assume there is a Waterfall Grotto?
February 17th, 2012 at 9:38 AM
Have to agree. Coach K is hasn’t shit solid in a month watching this kid every night.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:39 AM
Then again, the Amish are the nicest people in the world. No comparison to the dickhead cyclist.

stop driving like a grandma, and use that pedal on the right and accelerate. pass them. florida is flat, can’t imagine that there’d be a ton of no-passing zones.
i think cyclists are annoying too, i usually find my away around them though.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:40 AM
If you’ve ever driven or walked in a major city where people take bikes to work, you’ll see that bike riders do not obey many, if not all, the traffic laws. They don’t obey traffic signals, they cut cars off, they don’t yield to pedestrians, they ride their bikes on the wrong side of the road or on the sidewalk… in other words, they’re complete assholes.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:40 AM
Sooooo… golf?
February 17th, 2012 at 9:40 AM
I live in Decatur and one of the main roads I use to get to MARTA was once 3 lanes. They took away one of the lanes to build bicycle lanes going in each direction about a year ago. Traffic has gotten far worse going home in the afternoons and I rarely ever see anyone riding in the bike lane.

February 17th, 2012 at 9:41 AM
The biggest reason I’d consider moving to Utah.
Utah’s insane liquor laws are enough to keep me from moving there, scenery and eye candy be damned.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:41 AM
so does Sir Spicious think that bike rider was being a total dick, or not?
If you see that video, and the end result isn’t a guy getting hit, is that bike rider who is going that slow in front of a bus, ignoring that it’s behind him, a dick or not?
February 17th, 2012 at 9:42 AM
no argument from me.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:42 AM
That’s why I just mountain bike. All wounds are self inflicted.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:42 AM

I bet it’s nearly impossible to pass anybody on a 2 line road in Florida, with all the cars coming in both directions.

that’s the problem with living in atlanta.. they throw bike lanes in just to say they threw bike lanes in… with virtually no guarantee that they’d be used. it’s not a bike friendly city, so unless there’s a network of bike lanes that extends throughout the whole city, putting them in one area is useless, and like you said, ends up being a waste of space.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:43 AM
Enjoyed this, ill.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:43 AM
I appreciate your suggestion. I guess I should have been more clear in intimating that there’s a pretty constant flow of traffic in the opposite direction in the areas with the dashed line. either way though, I’ll keep your suggestion in mind.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:43 AM
That just looks like an awesome time though. The Stratosphere in Vegas has a “fall” from the top of their building that seems pretty cool too.
Different strokes I guess.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:45 AM
They took away one of the lanes to build bicycle lanes
I really like the concept and wish that Atlanta was more biker friendly, but this is just silly. They base this kind of decision on the “Bike to Work Day” crowd, not reality.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:45 AM
Yeah miz. Just pass them, dumbass. How haven’t you thought of that before?
February 17th, 2012 at 9:45 AM
Holy shit that looks amazing.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:45 AM
I think I mentioned it on Twitter a few days ago, but some cocksucker was riding his bike in the middle of the road with two dogs leashed on both handles. It was only a 25 mph back road, but he is still a fuck face.
I kindly flipped him off.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:45 AM
The worst is when I’m out at my mom’s place 40 miles from no where. Curvy back roads, lots of cyclists, no where to pass, and miles of open fields calling to become cycle cemeteries. It’s so tempting.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:46 AM
Get a bigger car.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:46 AM
During my tenure at CMU, like 6 cyclists got hit by cars, and I think all except 1 time (the time somebody died) it was the cyclists’ fault.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:46 AM

I think you missed the part where he said “two lane road”. Usually there’s tons of traffic in those Fla roads and, if you’re caught behind a menagerie of cyclists, there’s little chance to get ahead of them.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:46 AM
I once saw some fucking asshole purposely try to spook a horse pulling an Amish buggy by getting his car as close to the horse as possible and blaring the horn.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:46 AM
incredibly, I hadn’t. this kind of advice is exactly why I come here. well, the dong pics too.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:46 AM

well there a nice comment soaked in condescension and sarcasm. nicely done.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:47 AM
Yup. I’d stock up every chance I get. Thankfully, Colorado isn’t that far away from where that video was filmed.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:47 AM
If I was stuck behind a bike for more than like 6 seconds I couldn’t not just lay on the horn the entire time
February 17th, 2012 at 9:48 AM
oh I wasn’t hating at all. I’m just not a huge fan of heights, and I am pretty sure that I would need a change of underwear after doing something like that. I think it is badass. to watch that is.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:50 AM
sounds like they need new city planners. I will submit my resume if anyone knows any govt. officials that can speed it through.

What gets me is the “watering down” they demand. I get you limiting how much someone gets to drink (even if I disagree with it). But actively demanding drinks be wimpier? Get out my face with that!
February 17th, 2012 at 9:52 AM
Oh I was referring to the EIC, not you. Play on.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:52 AM
Everyone needs to go check out that monkey video in the next post.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:52 AM
Yikes. One of my Mass-hole uncles came down for our wedding, and he apparantly cut off a buggy and got pulled over. The police here dont take too kindly to that.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:52 AM
Atlanta is so far behind on infrastructure it is ridiculous. I don’t see how they ever catch up unless the population starts declining.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:53 AM

dude, you have no idea. this city was planned by a bunch of retards. this i am convinced of. this city could be 10000000X better if it wasn’t designed completely around the automobile. it’s still a great place to live, but when you think what it could have been with a little foresight about 30 or 40 years ago…
February 17th, 2012 at 9:55 AM
Atlanta is so far behind on infrastructure it is ridiculous. I don’t see how they ever catch up unless the population starts declining.
as long as their solution to everything remains “let’s just add another lane to this road/freeway!” or “let’s just start charging a variable toll on the express lane!” nothing is going to change.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:57 AM
Good for them. I wanted to call the cops on the guy that did it but I didn’t get his license plate number and it was before good cell phone reception existed in farm country so my call wouldn’t have gone through anyway.
February 17th, 2012 at 9:59 AM
stop driving like a grandma, and use that pedal on the right and accelerate. pass them. Atlanta has a lot of lanes, can’t imagine that there’d be a ton of no-passing zones.

i deserved that. i still imagine you driving a buick regal and driving 10 miles under the speed limit though.
February 17th, 2012 at 10:01 AM
it’s still a great place to live
I live here only b/c of work and I don’t really agree with this.
As soon as my youngest is halfway through college, I’m looking to go somewhere else. I live in a nice house in the burbs with good schools and my kid plays top-flight baseball. Other than that, this place is a fucking traffic prison.
February 17th, 2012 at 10:03 AM
Tell them people to piss off! I ignore the looks from those people as well when I’m on campus. as long as you are not obstructing their path, they shouldn’t bitch.
February 17th, 2012 at 10:03 AM
. I live in a nice house in the burbs with good schools and my kid plays top-flight baseball. Other than that, this place is a fucking traffic prison.
oh I would never live in the burbs. obviously i understand why you live there with kids… I was talking more about for someone living inside the perimeter without kids. can’t imagine sitting on 400 for 2.5 hours everyday.
February 17th, 2012 at 10:07 AM
You’ve screwed me again, Pennypacker.
February 17th, 2012 at 10:09 AM
I sit on 400 about 80 minutes each day – not bad considering.
But yeah – the city here is not a good place for kids, but the burbs are set up for them.
I’m a contract consultant – my projects change every 9-18 months so I can be just about anywhere. Near 400 is ideal.
Funny – we moved to our current house to be near a private school for the kids. The school has since gone to crap so my youngest is in the county school.
February 17th, 2012 at 10:17 AM

Police in Austin used to actually give tickets if you rode your bike on the sidewalks near campus instead of in the bike lanes.
