There is a radio commercial with I think Ben Leber maybe? Anyway, he says "I'm a former K-State alum...."

You don't need the word former.

Like I don't care if bicyclists blow stop signs, but they do it at their own peril.

My new pet peeve is visible contact lenses on actors' eyes in movies/shows that take place in settings that could not have contact lense technology.

Drivers that bitch about cyclists not following rules of the road. We know full well you don't follow every one of them.

You don't drive around MHK everyday. The bike lanes help so they don't slow down traffic but changing lanes without signaling, not dismounting for crosswalk crossings, and blowing through stop signs. It's a miracle nobody has died yet.

You also obviously didn't listen to the great MHK podcast that we have.  Officer Dan(can't remember his name) said that bike accidents are up, so it is a problem that's needs addressing.

It is much more serious for a car to not signal than a bike. Drivers are the cause of like 90% of car/bike accidents and also like 90% of the bitching about how dangerous it is to have bikes and cars on the road together.

So if I hit a bike who is in front of me because they didn't signal it's my fault. Also if they blow through a crosswalk without turning on the flashers and I hit them it's my fault. Got it.

Your lack of reading comprehension is your fault.

Just because many drivers are shitty drivers doesn't mean it's ok for cyclists to be shitty cyclists. I get pissed at shitty drivers, too.

Incorrect usage of Irony (I actually almost never see it used correctly) and the overuse of literally.  pronouncing hamburger as hambooger, and pronouncing wolf as woof.

Woof is contextual IMO.  Like if you're dismayed at the plummeting elk and deer populations, you blame the woofs.  But like you may have also seem a beautiful documentary on wolves, fascinating creatures they are.

woof as wolf or wolves can be nothing other than a devastating and utterly crippling speech impediment. good luck navigating human society, woof-sayer. you are better off talking through a Stephen Hawking robot mouth.

Nobody has died?  WTF the community has had cyclists killed because some eff knob ran a biker down because he was "adjusting his gps" probably texting. The biker was in the shoulder away from traffic.  So lets not go down this road without relevant facts.

How would you hit a biker if they did or didn't signal a turn?  Did you leave out the part where you illegally passed the cyclist to run them down?

First of all I never pass bikers if they are riding in the middle of the street. Second there have been times where a cyclist has been on the right side of the road and they just swerve left onto a side street without signaling.

I get it guys bad drivers make all drivers look bad. I'm just saying the cyclists that are bad riders make all of them look bad too. Let's just move on.
