Meet the bicyclist douchebag.

File this under I am both stupid and feel uber-privileged. Here’s the thing about this video, there’s something douchebag can do in each instance but you’ll note he chooses again and again not to.



What is that.

Stop.

In other words simply: stop. your. bike.

You’ll notice there are pedestrians in a crosswalk when douchebag goes rolling through. The only thing that’s really unfortunate is douchebag didn’t get well and truly hurt in his attempt to make his point.

Let‘s follow his logic...

Sometimes the bike line isn’t the best place for a bicyclist, because there are impediments to his forward momentum. Let’s apply that logic to cars and have them drive on sidewalks. You’re in a city where you share the road with trucks, cars, buses, taxis and pedestrians. If you want to ride your bike learn how to SHARE the road and every once in awhile put on your f$%#ing brakes even though you‘ve built up a good head of steam.

That’s the one thing you never hear bicyclists talk about, putting on the brakes or stopping.

Also note douchebag doesn’t wear a helmet. I imagine that contrasts with the hipster douchbag cool look he’s going for. And finally douchebag you are not doing any one a favor but yourself. Stop holding yourself out as some valiant eco-warrior, you may believe your own hype but, I’m not buying it. Start following all the traffic laws to the letter.

And if you get a ticket because you’re a douchebag, suck it up.
