I guess by inhospitality I mean being honked at, yelled at or pretty much harassed up to and including being deliberately run into. This includes drivers and/or police. <br /><br />My biking experience is limited to the roads of western and southern connecticut and those of NYC and the surrounding areas. I guess when i was younger, I got less harassment, honking, etc. simply because there were less bikes on the road, so i was seen as an oddity and I'm guessing would evoke a slight chuckle from the average driver instead of a muttered obscenity.<br /><br />These days, there are many more cyclists on the road, so we're not an oddity anymore. More drivers would probably classify us as an annoyance.<br /><br />I think if I could speak personally to each inhospitable driver, I would of course explain the traffic statutes to them that state that bicycles have the same right to the road as cars do. Also I would tell them "listen, <i>I actually drive too</i>! I <i>get it</i>, OK?"<br /><br />Especially on the streets of NYC, drivers have to get used to the fact that, you know what, that cyclist is going to be able to get where they're going faster than me when the traffic is heavy on side streets. That's just the way it is. Because as we all know, the ultimate goal of driving anywhere is to get ahead of the car that's in front of you, ad infinitum. So when when a driver sees a cyclist blithely go by them in a bike lane (or not) and then go through a red light (after checking for traffic first), I'm sure their blood boils a little.<br /><br />I don't know if this is enlightening at all, but whether it's New York City or Tulsa Oklahoma, cyclists face much more danger from irresponsible or impaired drivers than they do from inhospitable or harassing ones.mikewebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17534302647612107660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-36545575250270201862009-09-23T23:47:02.220-04:002009-09-23T23:47:02.220-04:00I'm not sure if the bike with the seriously ch...I'm not sure if the bike with the seriously chopped bars is a true hipstermobile, seeing as it appears to have gears. <br />Some kind of new breed maybe...MildThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743573282059946922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-30840734951677191532009-09-23T23:06:53.773-04:002009-09-23T23:06:53.773-04:00i own the croll. i saw you take the picture. you...i own the croll. i saw you take the picture. you looked so mischievous while taking it. hilarious! i keep it up high so i can see it while i work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-47426325509429595642009-09-23T22:59:09.508-04:002009-09-23T22:59:09.508-04:00you tried to play my man's croll! don't wo...you tried to play my man's croll! don't worry about it k-tel...let those brunchers see the whip! jzAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-25460853323727387232009-09-23T22:46:12.418-04:002009-09-23T22:46:12.418-04:00mikeweb: I live in what some consider the south (T...mikeweb: I live in what some consider the south (Tulsa, OK). I've ridden through many of the rural routes around town and have not really had too many problems. There are jerks, as there are in any place, but for the most part, it's been good experiences. With that said though, in the past couple of months, several cyclists have been killed recently on our local roads. Two by a drunk and one (74 year old lady) that was a hit-and-run, but these incidents were not a result of an anti-bike culture.<br /><br />I guess the more that I think about it, there are stories about harassment on what is our big weekly ride, the Wed. Night Ride. Although, I don't think that any party is entirely innocent in that matter.<br /><br />What would you consider inhospitable?sufferisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16400386219268757341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-13368191339459401512009-09-23T22:26:35.685-04:002009-09-23T22:26:35.685-04:00the croll's owner works at clinton street so i...the croll's owner works at clinton street so i don't think he cares about the brunchers beholding his whip fyi.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029412449952658835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-39367942421633081832009-09-23T22:19:04.601-04:002009-09-23T22:19:04.601-04:00When I see those fixies locked high up on iron fen...When I see those fixies locked high up on iron fences, I'm tempted to go to the nearest bike shop, buy a couple of cheapo Master u-locks and add them to the bike's security -- keeping the keys for myself, of course.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-13433354103725918512009-09-23T21:35:41.400-04:002009-09-23T21:35:41.400-04:00The feed is back!
