>you see the Armed Cyclist while out drivingWhat do you do?
>>65140376hit and run
Hi /n/!
>>65140380>hit and rundo you not understand the concept of "armed cyclist"?
Id probably draft his wheel for a bit, wind up in the big gears, and drop a cheeky 1400W 50 second effort on his ass to assert dominance
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rshp_mpPvhE
>>65140386how will being armed help him against an overwhelming kinetic disadvantage?
Salute him
>>65140376Could've been less of a fag about it but I get where th energy comes fromEternal hatred for john forrester, rest in pissBike infrastructure is important if one wants people to be healthier, less fuel dependent and have less traffic deaths and more bike useLiterally better for every party involved
>>65140389>lowlands europeYeah, that van driver regretted that decision. probably from north africa after getting sent home
>>65140376I pull up and YELL oh didn't see you thereright fellow boomers?
>>65140386if you hit them hard enough you don't even have to run
>>65140376I don't see any armor under that skin tight shirt
>>65140389It is antisocial to drive up on the cyclist like that even if it is also a bit of a dick move to drive side by side
>google Armed Cyclist>it is a single unique individual>there are dozens of minor paper articles, videos, forum posts of people seeing himwhat an absolute mad man
>>65140404Imagine going to prison for attempted murder over that lol.
>>65140404>lowlands europethe road clearly has slow painted on it and the traffic board with the place names it the wrong colour wielrenners kunnen optiefen
>>65140413he's a real character
>>65140413pic rel
>>65140413>he's got flashing lights... like police?>and he's an armed cyclist? I'm worried about his mental healthbeing armed is now a mental health concern
>>65140434>>65140413>anyone can call 911>claim to be a nurse>and now police think they have a mental health diagnosis
>See weak fag>Try to kill weak fag>Get killed by weak fagSee, the problem with guns is that they enable pesky things such as equality and democracy.Remember: God created man, Sam Colt made them equal.
Cyclists have no true place in citiesThey're too fast for footpathsThey're too slow for roadsDedicated bike lanes are a massive waste of space
>>65140466>Cyclists have no true place in citiesisn't that where they're most ideal?
>>65140470Arguably, the oddball in cities is the car. Large delivery trucks, buses, trolleys, bicycles and push carts all make more sense than personal automobiles. Maybe dedicated taxi lanes in a place like Manhattan. >t. engineer not /n/
>>65140463>Poltroon>A lazy, idle fellow; a sluggard; a fellow without spirit or courage; a dastard; a coward.Huh. All this time I thought it was a way to call /pol/tards troons.
>>65140493>Arguably, the oddball in cities is the carIf we already require roads for garbage trucks, ambulances, and all the other types of essentials heavy-movers then why not use them for cars?
>>65140512induced demandwhere to park themcars have low capacity, roads have low capacity
>>65140506It's a very appropriate thing to call them.
I love to cycle. It keeps me fit.I love to drive my car that I can drive wherever, whenever. It represents freedom.I love guns and hate zoggers.I feel like the odd one out.
>>65140520Cars have sufficient utility to justify their cost to a city. Even the best public transport is not sufficient to service the needs of a family of four, a hybrid system is essential.
>>65140526you're such a unique individual
>>65140526
>>65140527>Even the best public transport is not sufficient to service the needs of a family of fouryes it isit lowers dependency to 1 car for the family instead of every individual>a hybrid systemgreat, which is not being auto dependent as >>65140512 advocated
>>65140512parking takes up a lot of space and it's a very unproductive way to use all that space in a city you also need a lot more space to move those cars over, a person on a bike takes about a square meter of space a car takes about a dozen.so you can have boat a road and bike lines in the same space if you reduce the number of cars that end up using them.for how arrogant and stuck up the fucking dutch are their public space design is really good
>>65140526>zoggersZiggers. FUCK.
>>65140527as the head of a family living in a city with a hybrid systemwe only really need to use our car twice a week or so and could probably go without onelike get the kids a different hobby they don't need to be driven to and instead of going grocery shopping once a week do the shopping over several trips to a smaller closer store if I didn't get a company car we'd probably not bother with one. the few times we need a car we could bum a ride of my parents or get one for a car share appthat being said it's still handy and comfortable to have one
>>65140529>>65140532Then why so much butthurt from so many about cyclists
>>65140560You simply belong to an annoying minority
>>65140560because american cyclists like OP's faggot are deranged psychopaths
>>65140409>even if it is also a bit of a dick move to drive side by sideThat lane isn't big enough to lane split with a car. They're correct to claim the entire lane.
>>65140601it is big enough to sharebut you really shouldn't be driving there it's subpar infrastructure leading to conflict between different modes of transport it also doesn't help that spandex cyclists tend to be huge assholes wherever in the world you are
>>65140466>Dedicated bike lanes are a massive waste of spaceSo are you, yet here we are.
>>65140575because they have to deal with deranged psychopathshttps://www.bicycling.com/news/a60747401/waller-texas-coal-rolling-cyclist-crash/
>armed>very clearly using his legs
>>65140493The main advantage of cars is that you don't have to share the space with niggers and junkies, which you do have to do on public transport. Seriously, if you want people to use public transport then you need to set up white-only buses and trains.
>>65140427>sinead o'conner
>>65140560>brand new, multi-million pound cycle lanes built in my city>go on 5 minute walk to shops>cyclists still on road, paths and going the wrong way down cycle lanes>0/12 using the cycle lanes as intendedBecause they're scum
>>65140915the situation just need enforcement of existing lawsjust like illegal immigration
>>65140925Bike niggers would still act like a victim despite the town bending their entire infrastructure to their child tier hobby. >I bought a bike for freedom and to ride where I want!>now you expect me to use the safe zones you built so I dont die???
>>65140560>>65140526Children cry about the 1/1000. No one actually cares about the one bikie in a horde that's "based", they're going to treat you like the rest of your kind, and they're right to.>>65140925Existing laws post Hart Cellar are not sufficient for correcting the society destroying problems of immigration in the united states, much like enforcing existing bike laws would not do what really needs to be done, getting rid of the TYPE of person to whom the notion would even occur to to become a cyclist so that they can't poison society with their insane influence in all other areas.A cyclist is not just a cyclist, he is also the Anti-gunner and the pro-fagger, the racial gate-opener and the economic terrorist. Every cyclist that "gives up" cycling under some hypothetical law is still free to harm everyone else in all the other ways natural to him.
>>65140386>this nigger doesn't know about Sir Newton's second law of motion
>>65140463>God created man, Sam Colt made them equal.Amen, anon. Amen.
The only treatment bicycle faggots deserve.
>>65140470>>Cyclists have no true place in citiesI lived in Italy for 3 years and they did a great job dealing with cyclists. The cyclists did their part to stay on the side of the roads, and the drivers did great at not hitting them. It can be done if everyone is willing to do their part and not be a cunt, especially in the U.S. where the roads are wider.
>>65141039>>65141082there's no excuse (99% of the time) for a cyclist going down the road in the wrong direction or running a stop sign or light. maybe your local police doesn't want to chase and ticket cyclists, but that's a different issue.
>>65141113>especially in the U.S. where the roads are wider.This is no reason not to put for fear in the and humble them. If they were real people, they would buy a car.
>>65140785They lie like women!
>>65141119If they act like assholes, sure, but if they're doing their part to ride on the side of the road that gives vehicles plenty of space to pass them, then I'm not fucking with them.
>>65140386>armed cyclistBut he's literally a pedestrian right now.
>>65140386>longboy glock >cool holster >confident pose>bulge proudly on displayThis guy is a fucking Chad, I respect how many people he's upsetting.
>>65141113Cyclists don't belong in the streets. They belong on sidewalks, where they should be required to yield to pedestrians at all times.
>>65140386Is this a staged photo? Who the fuck uses a phone booth? This guy carries a glock but not a cell phone???
>>65140446>>65140434You all are making me like him more, especially because I know it's urban fags seething about him and out in the country he wouldn't have to do any of this shit since we'd just let him have his space. >>65141113>>65141135I'm in the Midwest and it's the same way. Cyclists stay near the side of the road, people slow down for them, and when we get close enough we pass them on the other side of the road if necessary. >>65141119Out here I'd assume they own cars, the reason they're riding their bike is for fun and exercise. Do you see joggers and also assume they don't have cars?
>>65140386>shorts are so tight that he can't carry a phone and needs to use a pay phoneI didn't know those still existed, I thought the booths were just for superman to change clothes.
>>65141226>I didn't know those still existedI saw one way up north last weekend, but that area has almost no cellphone reception so it made sense.
>>65141220you're just whining like an npc about the ways he doesn't conform to your expected social norms
>>65141220Apparently he also pays for things mostly in $2 bills and silver dollar and half dollar coins.
>>65141234okay, that's pretty funny.
>>65141082Malding. The absolute seethe.
>>65141220Photo is from like 2010. They were still a thing.
>>65141274Do you seriously think that people here aren't old enough to remember the year 2010? Because I am and I sure as hell never saw anyone using a phone booth then.
>>65141287Absolutely, I have never seen one used either. They still worked though
>>65141288I never questioned whether phone booths still worked. I was wondering why a guy would go out biking and bother to carry a gun but not a cell phone in an age when every child has one.
>>65140915>city>shops>multi-million poundThe problem is that you're Br*tish
>>65140493Retarded statement. Have you ever seen a large delivery truck or bus try and navigate city streets? Particularly trying to make corners.
>>65141296Clearly he has his reasons for why he does the things he does. As the other Anon said, I respect the amount of people he's upsetting. You're piqued by his communication choices, really? He can't be tracked easy, and this troubles you, not the other things?
>>65140520This is kino. The European mind cannot comprehend it.
*ring*ring* Coming through!Make way!
>>65140520>has never heard of underground parking garages
>>65141411Neither seem to have preceding pic related. Wonder why?
>>65141637Because it's Texas and land is cheap
>>65141411I guess Americans just don't have as many of them? In the past 15 years or so nearly all cities in my part of Eurostan have moved to mostly underground parking
>>65140376I pass him safely with at least 3ft of space between us and continue with my day like a normal person. Someone using a different vehicle than me on a public road doesn't send me into a state of rabid tard rage like it seems to do amerigolems.
>>65141656Disregarding the practical cost of demolishing all those buildings that used to be there, of course.
>>65141680The road is not for cyclists trundling along at 10km/hr
>>65141683>the practical costthe practical cost of abandoned buildings planned for demolition anyways?
>>65140376Why are there no normal cyclists in the US?Why is it either hobos or rich retards decked out in the gayest spandex clothing money can buy?What the fuck happened?
>>65141699Everyone else has been run of the road by Big Chungus in his 4x4
>>65140466>Dedicated bike lanes are a massive waste of spaceNot quite. Bike traffic is alot more space efficient than car traffic, so adding bike lanes (assuming they are actually build well and form a network that enables people to actually go places), will reduce traffic by more than a lanes worth of cars.More importantly, if you go outside, see the street is already jammed, you can say fuck that shit and get your bike instead.
>>65141699you get a driving license at 16 in US instead, along with either a cheap used car or your parents' hand me down if you're lucky.
>>65141714Yeah and walking is even more space efficient if that's our metric
>>65141714>Bike traffic is alot more space efficient than car traffic, so adding bike lanes (assuming they are actually build well and form a network that enables people to actually go places), will reduce trafficand in reality they take up an entire car lane slowing down the whole road and have traffc of 3.5 people per hour because bycicles are never be a desirable or viable form of transportation while lycratards gloat about wrecking part of the road and making driving worse, even if a little bit because this is what they actually care about when they shill for this shit.
>>65141806>are not and never will be
>>65141714assuming people actually use the lanes
>>65141714> (assuming they are actually build well and form a network that enables people to actually go places)You make an even larger assumption; that people would use them even if that were true
>>65141109>scooterchad
>>65140404>>lowlands europe>driving on the left>checkerboard curbs>.sgthis man never played geogeussr
>>65140615>it's subpar infrastructureOften it's not even that. The cyclists want to drive way faster than it's safe on a pedestrian walkway. Car lanes also are repaired more ofthen so they are smoother to drive with thin bike wheels and no shock absorbers.
>>65140400>Literally better for every party involveduh oh how do you sell gasoline and ozempic subscription to bike lane users
>>65142197and that's the issue the only bike riders in the US are cyclist "got to go fast" retards in Europe and elsewhere you get everyday people going about their everyday lives.if your kid rides his bike to school you'll want safe bike lanesif your kid rides his bike to school you'll respect bikes in trafficbut also on the flip side bike riders learn to respect the other users of the road that could squish them like a bug as apposed to spandexed assholesthere's no easy fix for any of that, it takes decades of cultural and infrastructure adaptation
>>65142207>bike riders learn to respect the other users of the roadI am from Europe and you have no idea what you're talking about
>>65142207>bike riders learn to respect the other users of the roadI am form Europe and this is so true
>>65140427Guy on right legit feels like he'd fit in a Mad Max movie. Probably posts on /k/ as well.
>>65142236its true early in the morning and late afternoon weekdays when people cycle to work or school and back. weekends not so much with the spandex missiles around
>>65142241Very real. Rush hour's the only time I'm cycling.

>>65141680>rabid tard rage like it seems to do amerigolemsAs an Amerigolem I love cyclists - that's one less fellow retard causing highway traffic and a statistically easier time trying to find parking for me.Yea, I don't understand the rage either
>>65140386Is that a fucking phone booth?
>>65141082Get professional help you are visibly mentally ill
>>65142747It's basically the same way I feel about gay people. I mean you're telling me 2 handsome men who'd absolutely outcompete me in the dating game willing choose to abstain, thus reducing my competition? And I'm supposed to be mad about that? Same thing for cyclists, they're only really a problem for pedestrians but I'm not a pedestrian so why should I care?
>>65142266women don't know what these are
>>65142899Awareness will spread after the first few cans have been opened.
>>65142907Your sacrifice will be remembered brother.
>>65141692it is unfathomable for the European mind that average buildings in the US have an expiry dateas I walk and write this all of the buildings I see are centuries old and I can not thing of any of them ever being demolished I mean I just passed an egyptian obelisk randomly in the middle of a road of a small country town
>>65142793I don't think your comparison truly holds because>Gay women take themselves out of your dating poop, too>You will (should) eventually have childrenWhat happens when you're no longer on the market, have sprogs of your own, and there is a none-insignificant chance that the propaganda convinces them that they're gay, or worse, cause them to troon out?
>i am conservative so i have to hate bi-cycles
>>65140427The collar is what gets me most
>>65140463Funny how guns enable authoritarians too. Oh, and let’s see the town militia stand up to the US army.
>>65143710>h8 bicycles because they're biJesus...it makes sense....
>>65143684For the first one, if they're crazy enough to be gay then I never wanted it, self filtering. As for the second, I was exposed to gay propaganda as well and I still fucking love tits, so if my child is so weak of mind and soul as to become gay or trans then he was simply unfit to succeed my position. I don't need a weak lineage to follow me, I'd rather my bloodline end than be made of men who can be easily convinced into being gay
>>65140376Fine if hes armed, but does he really need all the faggy shit too?
>>65143905He's armed so he doesn't suffer for having all the faggot shit jammed up his ass.
what compels a man to do this shit.
>>65143937A desire to assert agency in the face of the chaotic, tumultuous sea that we call life. Also upsetting people.

>>65141724Yes? And there should be footpaths in cities as well, is that controversial?>>65141806>and in reality they take up an entire car lane slowing down the whole road and have traffc of 3.5 people per hourYea, that's just the US though, because you tend to build cycling paths that start nowhere, go nowhere and aren't cleared in winter.In countries where the effort was made to build actual bike infrastructure, suddenly bike use goes up massively and congestion goes down, because people can avoid it by just biking.
>>65141411what is the cost per parking space?
>>65143905>>65143937Presumably numerous run ins with cars nearly or actually hitting him.Same reason he advertises he is armed: he says it has a calming effect on road rage drivers.
>>65144509>Yea, that's just the US thoughnope, even the most cucked parts of europe that wage a hot war on cars still can't match them in popularity.>suddenly bike use goes up massively and congestion goes downthere is a direct correlation with bike use and congestion and commute times because the only places that shoehorn bikes everywhere are the ones that try to destroy car infrastructure and car ownership at every opportunity.
>>65144715the first graph is taken from the European environment agency and is from 2011, it's also a weighted graph but you haven'y included thatthe second graph comes from here https://transportgeography.org/contents/chapter8/urban-transport-challenges/average-commuting-time/not that in the source it doesn't say by country but by selected metropolitan area why? because the guy that made the graph got called out on it being wrongfurther his graph isn't from a single source, not it's from a number of surveys conducted none of them measuring the same thing and ranging from 2008-2014so you are making a claim based on data that one to two decades old, that isn't even representing what you claim it is and none of it has anything to do with bikes
>>65144740>cyclist scum copeyou should be hunted on the streets
>>65144758first>so you are making a claim based on data that one to two decades old>2013secondyour source debunks your own claim, look at the Netherlands and their casual 43% and Denmark at 30% of daily bike use all the way back in 2013.those are the two countries with most developed bike infrastructure and are also the two countries that get the highest bike %.it's almost like if you build bike infrastructure, you'll get more people riding bikes

>>65144782>making excuses for communist hellholes that ban cars and make transportation I'm b*lgian and drive up the the Netherlands frequently. driving in the Netherlands isn't any more hard or uncomfertable than driving in b*lgium, France, Germany or the USA >manage to force people none of thatI used to commute by car, they put in a new pike path to the port and I started commuting by bike.my commute is still as long but I don't get stuck being forced to wait in rush hour and it's helped me lose some pounds.it doesn't hurt that I got to take my bike and e-bike out of my taxes and I get like a euro a day when I commute by bike.still got my car tough, wouldn't give up my wheels for anything. how else am I going to go 220km/h on the Autobahn to go get completely and utterly smashed on the weekends? or stock up on a trunk loads of Rotkäppchen and Stroh rum?
