on your left!

no I'm on your right!

Find out what it means to me…

r-e-c-u-m-b-e-n-t

Whatever, just let me be


I respect the fact that you’re riding a bike. But I don't like the fact that you get up in my space at intersections and stare me down expecting me to pay attention to you because of your bike, then you want to race me to the next light. And the fact that you’re on a recumbent makes it even more laughable.

Recumbent's are the fastest cycles out there, bro. Now, of course, the RIDER makes a difference (as does a huge aerodynamic windshield cowling), but, if I'm not mistaken, the speed records are all set on recumbents. No, I don't ride them; no, I don't like them. Huge douche factor, IMO. The worst are the ones where the rider wraps him/herself in some material (usually printed in patriotic colors) to cut down on drag.

copy all that. I agree, the RIDER makes the difference especially on the douche factor. But once again, I do respect the bike riding at least.

Laying down on a bike...it's just not right. I'll lay down with my bike when I'm dead.

Mark, you just described what happens to me pretty much every time I get on my bike in Eugene. Self-righteous hippies on recumbents. World's worst demographic.

My Attorney/Girlfriend rides a recumbent, she kind of has to, problems with her wrists. I like recumbents but I don't like assholes on any kind of bike. Here the worst douche bags ride road bikes and "train" on the coastal trail. It's freakin recreational trail, if you want to train for the road ride on the road. I could go on....
