(nods) Like the guy's never done a California roll through a stop sign himself. I don't understand people's righteous indignation towards bikers.

From Craigslist (anchorage.craigslist.org):

"Well you want us to feel sorry when someone at the street light gets run over and dies,I have to say if the last guy who was run over in town on his bike and died had the same attitide as the faggots who ride the coastal trail and think its a fucking triathalon,did he ride around like hey watch out here I come with an attitude,if so he desevered to get smashed like a banana,and was an idiot,when I do ride my bike and I see a person walking I slow down with respect,9 out of 10 times they have a child or small dog, have some respect for the familys who enjoy walking the trail and slow the fuck down,if one of you hits my kid well you can understand why I enjoy seeing bicyclist crunched under vehicles : ) "

Or this guy (anchorage.craigslist.org):

"Hey i AGREE with your example so when im DRIVING my big ass truck stay off the fucking road and ride your shitty ass bike on the sidewalk eh hoser?? Like you say, how hard is that right?? Im tired of idiots like you that feel compelled to take up the whole fucking road when you can't even peddle your faggy ass down the road @ 45mph. If you stayed off the road there would be less "collision" but on the other hand for most of you LOSERS the reason why your riding your faggy ass bikes is because of your stupid DWI offences.. hahaha"

Both posts could well be trolling, but seems to be the general attitude. Then again, Craigslist is a cesspool.

People in cars don't want us in the road, or even in the bike line. Pedestrians don't want us on the sidewalk, for fear of getting hit. I prefer to be on the sidewalk, as far away from the cars I can't see behind me as possible, but it's not always safe given pedestrians' propensity to take up the entire path, or be listening to headphones.
