I might be down for this. I'm really good at having fun while not winning.Thom wrote:I'd love to do this. Someone form a vegan team with me, and we'll show everyone how much fun we can have not winning/how much beer I can drink.

In that scenario it's stretching it to say that cyclists are "paying taxes for roads" in a meaningful sense compared to drivers.
Also down, but I will probably spend most of the time lording my edge over you.Churro wrote:I might be down for this. I'm really good at having fun while not winning.Thom wrote:I'd love to do this.

The main reason I ride my bike is I enjoy the health benefits and it's fun as fuck. Sorry man, come scream some shit at me out your window though!Varg wrote:Not only is it illegal, I think it's impossible.tylerjames515 wrote:You know it's illegal to ride bikes on sideways right? Bike trails only take you to certain areas. Try again!
Get a job, get a car, stop fucking up the roads, stop being a detriment to society.

& Shamone, try harder.
90% of the people who ride bikes in Ames are students. Students ride bikes to class. The bike paths don't lead to campus. I have ridden the bike paths in Ames and bicyclists DO ride on them. Most of the students here don't have cars here so they ride their bikes.Varg wrote:So surely somebody can answer me why Ames has bike paths when none of the bicyclists use them.
I swear to God, I see this all spring and all summer: Two bicyclists on the road, blocking traffic...with a bike path not 5 feet to their right.
Someone explain it to me. This is what I've theorized so far:
newly warm weather x (bicycles + dipshits) - (bike paths/tax $) = fucked up traffic.
You bitch and bitch and bitch about bike paths and trails and then never use them...and who do you think pays for those?? Just like joeychaos said...
Do you seriously complain about everything? Get over it.Varg wrote:So surely somebody can answer me why Ames has bike paths when none of the bicyclists use them.
