Bikes and 12th Ave North
-
I have been arrested for biking on the sidewalk, it was a 6th offense with some property damage (street BMX), but thats besides the point.
It is illegal for anyone over the age of either 14 or 16, i cant remember which, to ride on the sidewalks in fargo.
As far as the riders go, look for spandex, if they are wearing spandex they typically know the rules and will follow them and will report your ass for giving them a hard time. If they are wearing flip-flops they probably dont know the rules and will ride out in front of you.
Either way, be curteous, 'cause some of us don't take shit from drivers and tend to throw rocks very accurately
Edit: I forgot, I don't know the law around here, but many cities have Bike ordinances regarding college campuses etc. granting right of way to bikers...like i said though, dont know about here
-
Yeah campuses you have the right of way no matter what you are, as long as you're not in a car...basically. Non of the incidences i've had involved a campus of any sort though.
I'm more than courteous to the bikers who actually know the rules and can not fuck up the flow of traffic. I will not be courteous to those who don't. And if they try to throw rocks or something they'll be needing an ambulance to get where they are going. It's not smart to throw things at someone who is armed. -

It's not smart to throw things at someone who is armed.Its not smart to try to run down someone on a bike either. While never having to do this on a bicycle, on a motorcycle i've had kids come up behind me and open car doors to try to knock me off. I carry golf balls now. i see a door open on the road trying to hit me, they see a golf ball impact a windshield at 40 mph.
Also if someone threw a rock at you and you shot them, if anybody saw you you would be arrested pretty damn quick for assault, and if you were carrying legally you would probably be stripped of your right to carry, as a rock being thrown at someone is not considered a reason to shoot somebody. -
ummm..... if people are trying to knock you off your bike with there car doors..... they must have a pretty good reason to do so:eek: ..... and why would you even shoot someone for throwing a rock at you... thats just retarded... remember, your driving a car.....
run them over, lol
i do not condone any of that behavior:D
-
When I had my Motorcycle people fucked with me all the time. Opening doors while they drive by, swerving at me, one guy got out of his car at a light and tried to push me over. Didn't matter if i was just cruising by myself or with my girlfriend on the back, people were always asshats.
-
No I don't carry a gun, just 2 knives. The only time I'd have a gun in my car is during hunting season.
-
well hell even I carry two knives. i also have a concealed carry permit so you can guess which days I'm feeling lucky. Just remember something, before you decide to start hurting people on a bike for throwing a rock, never bring a knife to a gun fight. You never know who will have a gun and when they will be carrying it. This might be important for you to realize before something bad happens to you.
and yes, people are just asshats, people always try to screw with bikers. especially crotch rockets. I havent quite figured out why yet though. Maybe they're daddy didnt hold them enough as a child or something.

peddle bikes shouldnt be on the road, dont care what the law is. if i wasnt in a hurry to get somewhere and wanted to take my sweet ass time i would of road a bike. cars are for transporting people/stuff not waiting for bike peddler to slow down 2 blocks of traffic and cause accidents trying to get around them
my car gets something throw at it, it throws something back.................
THE BUMPER!!!3000 plus lb car + moutain bike = ur not getting back up to shot anybody

Only if you're caught

I have no problem with bicyclists except when they feel the need to ride in the road when there is a sidewalk right there. I won't cut em any slack if they are being jackasses either. Fine, run into my truck. Its gonna hurt you more than its gonna hurt me or my truckl.
-
I'll just go ahead and let this one out of the box, Moorhead/Fargo is not set up for bikes. I bike a lot and in larger city's they have bike lanes in the road, place for bikes to go instead of the sidewalk or a car lane.
Watch out people who screw with bikers, I will bring with my asian girlfriend with a uzzi on the back of my bike. (F&F)

this thread is retarded..... the "im going to kill them" got old after the first page.....
Still is the first page haha. 40 posts per page for the win. And really I don't think anyone would honestly kill someone like we're all talking about. Look at this thread as a vent for anger. If someone threw a rock at my car would I pull out a knife/gun and kill them? Of course not. Would I make them wish they hadn't thrown the rock? Of course I would. -

and if people are really trying to knock you off your bike..... did you ever think it may be ther persona you give off?......... if you look like an ass, people will treat you like onethis is quite possibly the dumbest thing I've ever read. How do they read a persona when your on a bike and their in a car? its usually just stupid high school kids who think its fun to try to hurt someone. Or someone so insecure the only way they feel better is to try to hurt someone.
