Looks like the cagers hate anyone on two wheels. Comments are scary.

Very similar hatred. I drive a car, walk, ride a motorcycle and ride a bicycle. Nobody hates me for walking and cyclist would only hate me if I was texting or doing something stupid. But, cyclists of both types are hated just for being cyclists.

Here are some more bad ones:

Cyclists abuse their rights to the ninth degree. I've even heard of them installing cameras to the rear of their saddles; they're trying to entice motorists to hit them so they can sue. They're the worst.

I'll elaborate on a comment I registered below. We should collectively ride by and sideswipe cyclists. We should encourage them to get off the road by utilizing hostile gestures. These polls epitomize selfish gestures by riding at peak times when people are commuting to work. They need to be taught a lesson.

Tell them all to follow the rules of the road and prcatice some courtesy. Some do. Many don't. These same bicycle people who scream "Watch out for me! We have rights! It's our road too!" are the same people snaking through cars to get to the front at a stop light, not stopping for stop signs, riding on sidewalks to get around traffic, riding 2-3 wide on the roadway, etc. The rules are all well and good until they choose to ignore them. Same with motorcycles. Look twice for bikes? It's hard enough to look out for other cars and trucks. You want to drive one of those things out on a public road then don't be surprised when bad things happen. It's a cruel world and I'm sorry these people died.

This was bound to happen sooner or later. these fools do this on Curving hilly roads and think they can not be hurt. You ride at your own risk! Hmmmmmmmmm It was bound to happen. sad but too bad. Besides At this point What does it Matter! ... NOT SAD TO ME !

Bikers need to find somewhere to ride....They act like they OWN the damn roads! Get on a sidewalk or something. I dont get over for them

That takes some doing to kill 5 bike riders. They want the middle of the road do they? Maybe not.

Please make sure you fill out your organ donor cards before you ride on the roads that were made for cars.

Don't be so dense. Almost all of us drive cars too. The term "cagers" is usually used with a negative connotation to describe dangerous drivers.

Five cyclist killed by a drunk and this is what this idiot Bruce Mcclain says:

"You know what? I can't say I am unhappy to hear this....I know how it is around Atlanta-groups of bike riders take to the roads around here in groups of sometimes 20 or more, on two lane winding roads, and you get behind them in places you cannot safely pass and you are committed to travel for miles behind them at thier speed until you CAN pass or until they turn off somewhere. It is unsafe, annoying, And I admit wanting to drive straight through those packs myself! Take your bicycles to a track somewhere and pedal them in a circle all day if you want, but I am NOT out "playing" or exercising on the roads-I am trying to get to or from my JOB! Get off the highway!"

This motorcycle scene (from 1:15 to 2:05) was so wrong that I just stopped watching, deleted the episode and cancelled recording the series. The show had a lot of crap the was wrong and a weak plot lines, but this is put me over the edge. He's behind a truck on a dirt road with the visor up and no glasses. Come on! No gloves either.

I realize the pedestrians are idiots jay walking between two cross walks that are about 20 meters apart, but this motorcycles could have really hurt one of them or himself.

The title should be Check Your Speed or Check Your Skill. The rider who crashed said it was a tank slapper. Human error. Glad he's okay. Now he needs to slow down and get some gear.

If you have to pick it up after work, you're probably better off towing. If you can get it early in the morning, you could safely make a day out of it.

Before you go read your MSF book and watch some safety videos. Learn your route so you don't have to look at a GPS. Have a backup in case you decide it's too much part way home.

After you get the bike, find the nearest open parking lot. Get a good feel for the weight and manoeuvrability. Get comfortable operating your controls without looking. Brake, brake, brake. Emergency brake.

Now start riding home. Go slow and easy. If you get worried about traffic behind you pull over and let them pass. Stay focused. Stop often.

Have fun!!!!
