Here is a news story:
"Somebody threw tacks along Highway 30 during the annual Seattle to Portland bicycle ride, The Oregonian reported.
The communications director of the Cascade Bicycle Club told The Oregonian that one rider fell when they hit the tacks and was knocked unconscious. That person was taken to a local hospital.
Other riders reportedly patched their tires or used spare tubes to continue on.
As many as 10,000 people joined the 200-mile ride from Seattle to Portland. The annual event is hosted by the Cascade Bicycle Club."
So, let me get this right, someone upset with cyclists riding from Seattle to Portland threw tacks on the road? Did I get that? Is there a law that gives the death penalty to losers?
As a sometime cyclist, all I can say is a big giant fuck you to the sort of person who believes that tacks on a road is fun or funny. I have seen plenty of angry drivers who somehow think roads are only for cars and trucks. As if cyclists do not pay taxes and also own cars and pay car taxes and buy gas and all the other things that pay for roads.
No, some car drivers think cyclists should be riding wherever they are not.
At some point when the finite oil supply dwindles and gas hovers around 20 dollars a gallon, more and more roads will be converted to cycle only roads and at that point these lazy fat ass morons will be the minority and I can promise you this, not a single cyclist will be putting tacks down on the path dedicated to slow moving shitheads with bad attitudes.
Fuck yes, they already have, inherited the world. Walk around, the large and rotund are everywhere.
ReplyDeleteIt said "somebody threw" not obese or fat or lazy. Weird that you jumped to that conclusion.
ReplyDeleteWhy not say a black did it, or Korean? What is todays prejudice?
A jew? Would you dare say a Jew did it?
Fuck you, hypocrite.
Tacks on a road in front of bike riders? What sort of low class move is that? God, I need to find a new country.
ReplyDeleteOh previous, get with the program, first and foremost, this is HIS blog and his opinion and he twists things and imparts his phobias and opinions and everything else. I come here because of that and I like the way he writes, and you probably come here for the same reason.
ReplyDeleteWhy pointing out the insanity of tack throwing in front of a group of thousands of cyclists makes him a hypocrite is beyond me, other than he did jump to the conclusion that one of our myriad of obese brothers and sisters might be responsible. Get over it. Het over yourself. Sounds more like you are having a bad day poster, not the blogging shit head.
When I say Shit Head I do so with the utmost of respect.
Without a pic, there were no tacks or cyclists. It's all made up. Pics or it never happened.
ReplyDeleteLadies and gentlemen, I give you, the return of "Pic Man".
ReplyDeleteIt never happens unless documented by photography.
I hate pricks who do shit like that. Who cares if once a year cyclists take over a road. Plus, it had to have been advertised. Don't want to deal with thousands of bike riders? Choose a different road.
ReplyDeleteOh, and previous, shut up about hypocrite name calling. You know this country is over run with lazy and large pig people. Shut it down girl.
ReplyDeleteI could us a good lunch time pick me up laugh out loud sort of story, if you have one in your pocket or anything, please post it.
ReplyDeleteI hate the slow and stupid
ReplyDeleteAsshole, roads ARE for cars
ReplyDeleteSo true
