I also witnessed at least 10 carts not stopping at stop signs. I watched a cart operator cut a bike off allmost sending the rider into a fence. I saw a cart rider puking in the grass on Buena Vista at El Camino near the pond. Last week I saw a pickup truck driver try to beat a cyclist that was merging on Enrique at El Camino, when he did not win and the cyclist rightfully looked at him wrong, the pickup driver cussed him out terribly at the light. My money was on the cyclist who looked like he could have broken the driier in half. So just because you have a problem with cyclist, it does not mean they are the only people out there that are disgusting pigs

Some really good points here. I have also seen golf cart and automobile drivers doing literally everything that people here have complained about bikers doing. Some things I've seen drivers (but not bikers) do: empty ashtrays onto a parking lot; throw fast food bags, cups, bottles onto the road or shoulder while driving; intentionally intimidating others (bikers) by driving too close and/or blowing their horn while passing; blocking the crosswalks while stopped at intersections. The list goes on and on...
Yep, some bikers act like idiots; so do operators of every other type of vehicle. Why did this turn into such a rant against cyclists?
As to the original topic, sometimes expectorating can be necessary, such as if there is excess phlegm or saliva, etc. If it done with a certain amount of discretion, as the president of the LSBC seems to be advising, what's the big deal? It's not so much different than dealing with the snotcicle while in the pool. |
