    Or that close down entire roads just so they can race one another

    How often do you actually get caught behind a crit race? Maybe twice a year tops in some cities? Where I live marathoners fuck up traffic far worse and more often but somehow they don’t arouse the same vitriol.

    Cyclists have every right to be on the road. We pay the same taxes, but this attitude is why I get menace passed and have coal rolled on me every couple of weeks. Show a video of acyclist following the law but getting hit on a bike and the comments section is people saying they deserved it. If I ride my mountain bike on trails away from cars the horse people and hikers get up in arms. I guess I should just fuck myself, eh?
