NIce D....IMO

how fun is it to get hit by some dickhead riding his bike on the sideWALK?

not much...

Clotheslining them is much easier than letting them hit you, or take off your mirror on your car, or not riding straight when on the road, and giving your front panel a sweet scratch.

If you're going to clothesline a bicyclist, make sure it's the lance armstrong wannabe toolboxes that think they own the lakeshore trail. I want to punch those guys each time I see them.

You thought wrong...alot of the chicago cyclists, especially the ones who work as couriers are the biggest elitist pricks in the city. Add to that the fact that most of them are also hipsters - which is deserving of a special disdain all it's own.

Yeah those are totally the dousches I'm talking about. The try hard types, I'm not ragging on the dudes and dudettes, who use it as a mode of transportation and fitness, well maybe a few of them, but on the whole just keep on the streets, dont answer your phone, and ride straight for christ sake!

i'd tend to disagree about most messengers being hipsters. i have a few bike messenger friends, and they are raw as gutterpunks! they are not all nice; but from my experience, they are a whole diffrent breed of person!

messengers, hipsters, mostly nay. Clique-y, elitist, mostly yay. Like any "elitist", all you gotta do is ignore the facade, most of them are severely insecure, and messengering/being rude to you is part of their identity or social circle at the least. Simply talk to em like you don't give a f***, which you don't, and they back down like little puppies.
