I saw that.  Dude's gonna get crucified...

Here's his Twitter feed if anyone is interested..... (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)

And the stupid website (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)he put together.  I smell a critical mass on Providence one morning. ?P

Wouldn't THAT be fun to find out!

I like how he does many of his videos while driving.  Guess that's safer than riding your bike in the lane...WTH?! 

I have to say I just watched the first half, but I agree with the guy up until that point. I can't stand road bikers who want it both ways. If you're gonna take a lane and act like a car, don't then blow past stopped cars, don't run red lights and stop signs. And then wonder why people hate you. And especially don't go on your huge weekend group rides on major roads (or any roads really, twisty back ones are equally as dangerous) and ride two, three, four wide. Flame on.

Doesn't That Guy Have Rights?
Of course he does. However, his rights end when they impede on the rights of others.
As Providence Road is a public highway, all persons have the right to use it at normal speed. By impeding traffic, he infringes on the rights of others.


copied from his website. Since when was "driving" a "right". 

  And sir.....you driving on the road is impeding my right to ride my bike on the road.

The guy on the bike has a right to use the road. However, the guy has a very valid point at the red light. He is giving everyone who commutes on a bike a bad name when he blows through that intersection. Because there are going to be a lot of people sitting at that intersection thinking the same way this guy does. I see it happen all over the place where guys are blowing through red lights and passing cars at intersections stopped for them. It doesn't help the cause. Once in Pittsburgh I saw a guy on a bike blow through a red light and cars had to stop for him. When they blew the horn at him his response was to flip everyone off. That makes for great bike advocacy.

You need to rethink your friends, if they make friends who make friends like this.. 

He posted this on Twitter BTW: 

Eric Cable ‏@EricCable 25 Apr
People who obstruct traffic with their bicycles should shampoo my crotch.

All those in favor of sending it to the compliance folks over there at Wells Fargo brokerage??? 

Heh heh heh.

WOAH!   STOP THE PRESSES!!!!!  Someone you/we/someone doesn't agree with on the interwebz?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?  INCONCEIVABLE!!!!






btw- the new yellow jacket really looks good in that video Rich...

It is common for drivers to not like cyclists on "their" roads, but to be so worked up about it as to create a website and start a petition?  This dude's got way too much time on his hands.

I don't understand what is going on in the cyclist's head either.  Riding Providence at rush hour strikes me as both very unpleasant and unsafe.

All over it! 

Wait, WHAT?  This guy has a WIFE?  Mind.blown.

and a dog...

and a cat...

He's riveting.

A 29er is almost a road bike anyway.

Hey wait a minute.

This looks to me like a contempt fest.

And what does that solve? Not much.

Let's see, this guy gets a new vid camera, is virtually talentless, but desperately wants to post videos on YouTube. So the best he can come up with is airing his daily frustrations for the whole world to see.

Not sure I see a problem. He has the right to his opinion. And although his opinion isn't necessarily positive towards the biking community at large, nor is the comment about bicycles being restricted to sidewalks a thought worthy of consideration, still his opinion has some merit. 

And TwoNeener and Locomoto nailed it.

Providence Rd. is heavily congested and needs a system of bike lanes. And the cyclist either has a death wish, or had one too many down at the local pool hall.

Yep, I missed your post. 

My speed reading isn't what it used to be.

My apologies. Your point makes a lot of sense and I've seen it both ways.

I'm not insulted when somebody doesn't appreciate the fine art of bicycling. I consider it mainly ignorance on their part. Somewhat reckless on the part of bicyclists that think it's a good idea to confront the 'road problem' by being obnoxious towards somebody, with suspect driving and cognitive skills, piloting a 4000 lb. vehicle.

His youtube page is interesting when it posts all his comments and subscriptions.  Gun nut, Obama hater, and likes Jenna Marbles.

Look, we all agree the guy is a tool. That being said, there's nothing wrong with being a "gun nut" or an "Obama hater," and I had to look up "Jenna Marbles" but, to be honest, she's not that bad looking. 

Don't go labelling people who like all the amendments of the Constitution "nuts" just because this guy is an idiot. 

And if you want to continue to support the second worst president we've ever had (sorry Carter) then that's your right. Thanks to him and his disregard for the aforementioned constitution, the NSA is probably reading this right now. 

guys got a valid point, why all the hate?

I'm confused.

Are you guys saying Obama is the guy in the white helmet, or that it's his fault that traffic sucks in Charlotte, or that he should call out the drones on bicycle boy?

I only mentioned the first two because they fit the stereotype of people who also typically get very vocal in their anti-cyclist views, much like this dude.  And Jenna Marbles because she's a comedy channel that typically does well with younger girls...  I'm sorry that you take offense to others' points of amusement.

I think Eric Cable would like that....

Interesting point...

Bicycle Boy is now using Randolph on his way home.  BTW: He's quite old for a "boy."

He's also having an effect on traffic already.  The other day on my way home, a car up ahead of me started scooching towards the curb to block any inside moves.

Meh... now he's angering my fellow daily commuters.

I should mention that I don't pass stopped traffic by skirting around cars just to get to the front of the light when it turns green only to have the very same cars have to pass me again.

He seems a bit more rational now than when this all started.

I was offended they asked for money when you sign it
