Urban Bicyclists
Not all of them. Just the ones that ride down the middle of the road, refusing to move to the right side of the street, where they belong. It's just such a passive-aggressive dick move. They know there's a line of cars behind them and they don't care. In fact, they're enjoying it, feeling all smug because they're on a bike and not a gas-guzzling car. And if you were to dare suggest they move over to the right, be prepared for a tidal wave of self-righteous "I have just as much a right to the road as you do" bullshit. News flash - you aren't a car. You aren't making me feel guilty for driving a car either. And here's a little bit of advice - should you hit a pothole or otherwise lose control of your bike and fall, the chances of me being able to stop in time to avoid squashing you like a bug on the windshield are probably slim. And since you aren't wearing a helmet (because 99% of the time the ones riding in the middle of the road don't), it's probably not going to be one of your better days. Or one of mine either, because even though I think you're a dick, I really don't want your broken body on my conscience. So do us both a favor and stop pretending a bike is the same as a car and move to the right. That is all.
