First!
Lol’d
Oh I get the picture now. Thanks Niklas.
this 1 didnt get me!11 Fail post
Basically that thing saying watch for bikes….Its blocking the bike lane though…P.s it did take me a while to notice XD
Joke Realization Fail.
Should be “Bikers – Watch for Signs”
What a fail… my bike doesn’t need to know how to tell the time
And you sir, are an idiot.
TheJames made a pun.
No should say nothing.
i just read like 200 comments on this pic at photobasement, and not one person made this excellent observation.
thejames = major win
that’s actually a pretty good deal….
i mean, you could get a really crappy bike, and trade it for, like, a Rolex!
Hey Fuzz I found your pants.
HEY!! Cee cee, what are you doing in my roo……
I just left a comment to you in Geography Fail. *eerie*
If this is your room why is Fuzz’s pants….?
OHHHHHH
I hereby endorse this zing and wish to show my appreciation for the dry wit that it embodies.
amen
And may the force be with you.
I think there saying “watch for bikes” because the bike line is closed.
No way! Really!? I thought it was the girlfriend who ended up sleeping outside that put the sign there.
haha those bikes are whores i tell you!
Do you know from experience? is that why you are so happy?
my penis is very huge
thanks to the new swiss army pump, good for bikes, basketballs, and
small penis’!
I think that’s peni…I’d say it was pena but that would make it a feminine noun
penii?
just penises. lol, funny word.
Hey they’re.
Leave M Grunt alone.
It is not you’re business to correct him.
hahaha.
Silly people, the [i]real[/i] fail is that it says ‘lane bike’.
Italics fail. D;
yes but observation win ^_~
It’s not a fail because it’s read as “LANE BIKE.” I used to think so before, but I see that *everywhere* there’s a bike lane. Notice, however, that the sign that warns people to watch for bikes is placed smack on where the bikes were meant to be. They’ll certainly have to be watching for bikes NOW.
this has already been mentioned by MEXICAN GRUNT.
before then we got it too…;)
MGrunt thought the lane was closed. There is no evidence that is true.
it’s ‘LANE BIKE’ because they go by the logic that as you’re cycling up to it, you’ll read bike first as it’s closest to you. either that or the americans just get confused with their word order.
No I’m pretty sure that the fail is they blocked the bike lane with the warning sign, thus forcing the cyclists to move into the traffic lane and into danger.
I american an am, We and never get word order with confused. We smart are for that too.
No…. it says Bike Lane… look at it as if you were approaching it….what do you come to first…. “Bike”…. then “Lane”…..
Limited experience win.
The real irony in your post is that it says “bike lane.”
I thought it was the triangular parking space..
not first!
FAKE!
Not Fake – this is in Dana Point, CA. Just over the hill, the bike lane is closed.

That’s ok, I swapped my Ka for a Mondeo.
good trade! Kas are like tin cans on wheels.
What about a sarcophagus ? Like, mounted on a cart with four stone horses spitting fire ?
No ?
sarKAphagus?
nope, a ka is a backpack on wheels
Very good choice. The *Ka are crap.

This is one hell of a deformed pyramid.
It looks more like a triangle to me, but that’s just because I’m not an alien capable of seeing 4 dimensions.
…a pyramid has 3 dimensions?
That’s the work of a mastaba-tor.
I think I love you…
pyramid 10
stop helping him damn you!
they’ve got to put up another lightsign thing for the bikers, saying “attention! lightsign”, right next to first one. only then the first one would make sense in warning the motorists of the bikers, which would have to use the car lane then.
You’re going to have to watch for them, all right, since they’ll be swerving into your lane to avoid the giant sign blocking their own lane. It’s bad enough to have some of these suicidal idiots on the road, without them being given an extra reason to lunge in front of you. Nothing against people who use bikes, of course, but I think they should be required to pass some kind of test to show that they understand that while, yes, cars are required to share the road with them, the car’s occupants aren’t going to be the dead ones after an accident, so guess who needs to be the more cautious one? Because I really think some of them are not grasping this concept very well.
woah, did a bike sleep with your boyfriend too?
Whoops! Someone else beat me to the explanation! Too bad we’re both walls of text.
or they could do the simple thing and use the alternative bike lane, also known as the sidewalk.
but maybe the testing is a good idea. drivers shouldn’t have to pay attention to anything while behind the wheel. so why don’t you test the deer and moose too. they should learn a thing or two about lunging into the road. ( then again, you hit a moose and the moose wont be the one to die. )
haha win. Elvira certainly sounds like one of those people who should never be allowed behind the wheel of a vehicle.
“Nothing against people who use bikes, of course” …eh the whole post was an attack on bike riders.
precisely. damn them and their environmentally friendly ways. i like the suicidal idiots part myself. nothing against people who use bikes of course. you’re just idiots… because you don’t act like me.
yeah, damn their environmentally friendly ways, those suicidal idiots annoy me when i’m behind the wheel of my SUV. what right do they have to be on the roads anyway?!
Well, they don’t. Just like the suicidal idiots who walk straight out of a store and into oncoming traffic. Yes, they have the right of way, but that won’t make them feel much better when they’re DEAD. Unlike them, I look both ways, regardless of whether I have the right of way or not. I have my priorities straight. Seeing some unobservant driver go to jail just isn’t going to make up for being dead or maimed.
you seem to be more worried about going to jail than about killing someone.
priority fail.
Notice that all this DEATH talk revolves around cars? hmmm i still think they should do as i once heard a comedian say, make all cars out of NERF material.
And how fast are you driving in a parking lot? Why the hell are you going fast enough to KILL or MAIM somone??? use some common sense.
i also would like to bet you park your SUV in the compact spots too, dont you?
I’m no expert in physics, but considering that you can kill yourself falling in your bathroom, a bump from a SUV running at 15mph can be lethal as well, right ?
yes, falling in the bathroom can be lethal, yet jumping off a building can leave you with nothing more than sprained ankle. and people who die in the bathroom often die of complications to the injury from excessive shame. to die in the bathroom often includes being naked, or on the toilet. A shitty way to die, so to speak.
But then do you have to be naked to die from a frontal collision with a S.U.V. in a parking lot ?
Logic fail.
Sarcasm/Irony/Fake stupid comment fail.
Real douche win.
You’re right. Real douche win. Congratulations.
i agree with Detlef. i couldn’t even think of how to respond
to that comment. There was nothing ironic about it and if that was an attempt at sarcasm, you failed miserably. the fake part makes even less sense.
Mirror ! You can’t tag you father !
Adoni, my comment about being naked while colliding with a SUV is in a category of humor you probably cannot fathom, it’s called “self derision”.
But well, you cannot name yourself after God and be expected to undestand this kind of things.
WTF are you talking about?
We all bow humbly to The Real Douche. Let us bask in the glory of His win.
OK, I’ll try something simple.
Me make stupid comments = self derision.
You have nickname like name of a god.
Thus you big ego.
Thus you do not understand self derision.
.
-Won’t talk about golf.
“You have nickname like name of a god.
Thus you big ego.
Thus you do not understand self derision.”
Thus you do not understand grammar.
Its only considered a type of comedy if it is funny. why dont you work on that instead of trying to make up for a pathetic joke by telling yourself its everyone else that isnt funny
( the previous one showed up late )
That’s what she said.
PS. Adoni is a lord who is NOT god. similair but not quite
the same. What can i say, Im a humble guy.
Detlef : just stop it. You really cannot spot derision and when you get out of inspiration you go to imdb.
.
Adoni : Not finding me funny doesn’t justify the energy you are spending trying to convince me you’re right. Either it’s personal either you have a problem.
.
If you don’t like me, ignore me and stop trying to save the interwebz from my non-funny humor.
The funny part is, you didn’t know what I was quoting until you looked it up on imdb. I already knew the quotes. So you have no frame of reference here, Donny. You’re like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie and wants to know…
Yeah, not memorizing movies to quote them on blogs make people outlaws.
You’re not an outlaw, you’re a nihilist.
im not trying to save the “interwebz” im jsut trying to be a pain in the ass. Im obviously just arguing for the sake of arguing. but i thought with your superior wit you would have noticed that… im at work and have no better way to kill time at the moment.
Jesus, how the HELL do you guys ever get laid?
they don’t. that’s why they’re here.
Doesn’t that mean you don’t either, loz?
logic fail! they’re here because they never get laid. but that doesn’t mean anyone who is here must never get laid.
Adoni, the only reason why I did not spiritually bite you is because I left work. Just you wait.
Dragon -> We do get laid. Ask your mom.
Her mom would say that you fail too often for you to ever get laid by her.
She’d say it screamin’
Yeah, screaming at you to get the hell out of her house.
I said “laid” not “laid off”.
That’s cause I didn’t wanna use the rubber fist.
are your mom jokes just as insulting if you say them to a girl?
hey Dr. Man, I think you are brilliant, and I laughed pretty hard at your comment. way too many haters on here. <3
O_o
Hon, give me back the comp will you, I know you support me and I love you too.
… *barf* She doesn’t really love you because
you made a douche-bag out of yourself on
Fail-Blog, R-tard.
No but somehow SUV’s just affect me that way and I have to get jiggy with myself.
Wait. Was that rhetorical question?
You see Elvira, there are several instances when cyclists are supposed to ride in or very near the flow of traffic (i.e. on a busy street with lots of parked cars, to avoid the “door zone”). In such cases, the most cautious and well-informed riders may be the ones that appear the most “suicidal” to the untrained eye. Not to say that there aren’t plenty of idiotic cyclists out there, too…
But since most cyclists are just trying to get somewhere, and aren’t specifically trying to make Elvira’s life a living hell, AND since a collision between a vehicle and biker probably won’t do much more than scratch the car’s paint, maybe you could just give them the benefit of the doubt.
Every time I try to pass one, they start wobbling ominously. This results in me trailing behind them, while a long line or cars behind me blare their horns. This, in turn, makes the cyclist even more wobbly, and makes me less able to pass them. It’s a fail all around, I tell you.
uh oh, she knows about the evil bicycle army’s top-secret ominous wobble attack!
She sounds like a terrible driver. I’m a cyclist and I started wobbling in my desk chair just reading that post :-/
OMG, it might take you (and the other a$$hole horn-blarers) a whole 90 seconds longer to get to where you’re going!!! What a waste of time, and just to be kind and possibly save a human life….
do the world a favor and swallow your car keys
If everybody, and I do mean everybody, followed the rules of traffic, this wouldn’t be a problem. Bikes are vehicles and because of this are, in many places,not allowed on the sidewalks. If you are on a surface street attempting to pass a bike, you are most likely speeding. And then you’re the one creating the dangerous situation.
Unless it’s a large street or a highway and the terrain is hilly, which it is where I live. The speed limit ranges from 35 to 45, but most cyclists can only go a small fraction of that up the hills. Cars are still expected to maintain more than a 5mp/h crawl, however.
Sure, sure. but I live in the land of virtually no topography. Of course, the cars never seem to drop below 50 mph around here. Even on the side streets.
sounds like phoenix
Nope, but come winter-tiime I’m sure I’ll wish I was in Phoenix!
Really???? Nobody wishes they were in Phoenix!!!
A moose once bit my sister.
No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse…
Serious win for obscure MPFC reference!!
fail. it’s the holy grail, not flying circus. and also, not obscure. pretty ubiquitous.
definitely not obscure. it’s almost the first thing that happens in the movie. however, python reference = auto win.
the sidewalk is for “Walking” bikes are not allowed, know the rules, then talk.
Commas are for “spacing,” not ending a complete thought. Know the rules, then type.
Quotation marks are for “quotes”.
Hmm, ride my bike on a busy highway, or empty sidewalk? with drivers like Elvira feeling they dont need to pay attention, Ill take my chances on finding a cop who will ticket me for riding on a sidewalk when the bike lane is closed. unless you know many cyclists who can get a bicycle over 65 going uphill.
Get some common sense before you end up a Darwin Awards joke.
I do pay attention. Why do you think I notice every time some imbecile lunges in front of a car without so much as a thought that he’s about to become a pancake? I notice when it isn’t even my car that’s about to splatter his brains.
Still, I shudder at the thought of you behind the wheel. No one has this many incidences of nearly killing pedestrians and cyclists.
Second to Adoni, sidewalks are for pedestrians. Roads are meant to be shared. Most roads are plenty wide enough for both cyclists and drivers. I don’t know the city you are referring to, but most cities don’t have “empty sidewalks” because they are filled with pedestrians.
…You are clearly NOT a cyclist.
first time i got hit by a car, i was riding my bicycle on a sidewalk. damn woman came out of a blind driveway without even slowing down, i ended up on the windshield… the sidewalk is less safe, because drivers assume objects on the sidewalk to be stationary. in the street, at least you’re in the line of sight.
if cycling isn’t your bag, cool beans, but don’t expect to dictate to cyclists how you think they should ride, you have experience only in a car, but most cyclists have experience with both.
i quite agree it’s funny, i have been hit by more cars than i can remember- and destroyed quite a few bikes- either i am insanely lucky, or subconsciously i know how to take a hit, i’m not sure which, because I never sustained injury worse than some road rash- the sidewalk story happened when i was 12 i think…
when i was 15 i hit a car head on, i was going about 20mph. that one was my own fault, i was riding the wrong way on a one-way street, the car had the light- but the bike took most of the impact, i was thrown clear across the intersection, landed on my back and did a combat roll to my feet, grabbed my bike and cleared the intersection before i even knew what had happened- then some guy handed me my wallet. crowded street at rush hour too, it’s funny to hear that collective gasp- i wish someone had had a camera, it must have looked pretty spectacular, you can bet if i had a video i would show it off with pride…
i got hurt worse hitting a pedestrian, i think i was 19 then- bastard ran across the street w/o looking, i didn’t even get a chance to squeeze my brakes, hit him face to face at 20 mph- only satisfaction i got from that was i broke his nose. the inside of my lip was all cut up, and i damn near had a concussion, i was a bit loopy for the next week… it’s funny that of all the bike accidents i had, that was the one that caused me to start wearing a helmet always.
Elvira, it’s people like you who bring out the hostility in cyclists. You are so thick headed, I don’t even know what to say… me being rendered speechless is quite a feat, be proud. Or else you’re a troll, in which case, well played.
I have some nice vocabulary words today, if you’d like them, Mal.
shh! they’re watching us
>.>
<.<
I may have fanned the flames a bit.
My question is where do you live elvira, maybe that has a lot to do with the idiots walking out of stores and into cars. I don’t see much of that around here.
BTW how are those melons doing?
California. But it was worse in Massachusetts. I took a taxi from the airport and we nearly ran over at least ten people. Fortunately, since I wasn’t driving, I didn’t spend too much energy worrying about this fact.
“I took a taxi from the airport and we nearly ran over at least ten people”
all that proves is you had a horrible taxi driver- of which boston has more than its fair share- or are you the “blame the victim” type?
I’ve lived in both places…and have had my share of whiny “Luke Skywalker” type bitches…there is no excuse for drivers to not observe the rules (that are put in place by the DMV) not to be observed. Sounds like Elvira hasn’t read the book before she took her test.
… Ok, I’ll bite. “Luke Skywalker”?
“or they could do the simple thing and use the alternative bike lane, also known as the sidewalk.”
Knowledge of the rules of the road fail. Apart from certain areas in Los Angeles, it is illegal to cycle on the sidewalk in California. Where the above picture is taken.
It’s called the sideWALK, not the sideBIKE, for a reason. It’s not an “alternative bike lane.” While it may be legal some places, it’s not recommended by people who do bike safety education for a number of reasons.
Pedestrians and people in wheelchairs don’t want to have to dodge bikes on sidewalks, and cyclists may be traveling fast enough that they represent a danger to these folks.
Drivers pulling out of driveways are looking only for things approaching at pedestrian speed and not bike speed and thus won’t see an approaching cyclist in the time between when they look both ways and think it’s clear and when they start to pull out, during which span of time a cyclist can easily come from the blind spot to the driveway.
We’re safer in a bike lane (one that isn’t blocked by a monster sign, that is).
And I’d much rather travel with vehicular traffic that’s all heading the same direction I am, with a lane they’re supposed to stay in, than on a sidewalk with two-way unpredictable traffic, dogs on leashes (if I’m lucky), toddlers climbing out of their strollers or reaching for my bike, someone who stops suddenly in the middle of the sidewalk in front of me because she just remembered she left her purse back at the restaurant….
Lousy cyclists annoy me as much as they do drivers–they give us all a bad reputation. On the testing, given that probably 99% of adult cyclists also hold a driver’s license, cyclists have in fact passed a test on the rules of the road, and have also most likely driven vehicles so they have some sense of the driver’s viewpoint. If I could get every driver onto a bike in traffic at least once, that would represent the equivalent experience on the other side (and wouldn’t THAT be fun to watch?).
If all of us took an occasional refresher course on the rights and responsibilities of both drivers and cyclists, the world would be a safer place all around.
I suggest we all strap enough explosives to the back of our bikes so that people actually feel like watching out for you on it. You do realize that the stupidest people on bikes are actually older people who long ago got their driver’s license
When my dad started walking for his health, he found cars would swerve way around him only if he was carrying a walking stick. Conclusion? Drivers are more immediately concerned about a scratch on their paint than about killing someone.
Sad but true. The worst offenders seem to be the suburbanites driving in the city. They should have to pass a driving test IN THE CITY before being allowed to drive there.
Heh…I think our worst offenders are big city-urbanites driving in our medium city, teaching all the locals how to drive like them.
However, the above story happened in the country, where there was no sidewalk, only 8″ of gravel and then a steep 4′ deep ditch. Dad decided he’d live longer if he stayed at home.
I’ll grant you that big-city urbanites can be a pain in smaller cities. But I can’t even begin to tell you how many times I’ve nearly been run over just crossing the street here in my “big city”. AND I cross at the crosswalks! Every time it’s been someone with suburban plates/stickers. I would walk in the park if the mommy brigade didn’t act like they owned the place.
GAH! Not the mommy brigade!!
Gawd, they really are worse than the drivers, aren’t they?
Mommies with overly developed senses of entitlement? And freaking expensive strollers taking over the bike paths in the park? Yes, much worse than the drivers. Unless you give a mommy brigade member an SUV. THAT would be worse.
*breaks into a cold sweat*
Well, I could get started on my issues about driving past parks and the imbecile parents who fail to adequately supervise their spoiled spawn to prevent said spawn from leaping into traffic, but….
i think you should just take everyone’s advice and stop driving. take up something more environmentally friendly!
There are different plates for people from the suburbs I didn’t know that. When I go into my city all our plates look the same. Probably just where I am from though.
Woah, this pic is, like, SO old !
It happened during the last Tour-De-Fail.
I want to see a fail in the Olympics!
Well, there was the guy whose elbow failed….
Masturbate’o limp-ics ?
Failed BIGTIME!
Well, considering you nickname I don’t thing you can even get the concept right.
Spelling fail. Sit down MrDan. Next time you want to say something, ask me first and I’ll tell you if it’s ok.
Do you even know what you’re trying to say?
Yeah. I’m trying to say that’s just freakin’ dumb to lay a “you failed” when you have nothing better to say, especially when your name refers to your fallen genitals.
.
Just like the “spelling fail”, yeah, I wrote “thinG” instead of “thinK”, so what ? It’s gonna give you nightmares and the midnight chinaman is going to grin at you again ?
Or maybe you’re gonna tell on me ?
.
Dummy.
The chinaman is not the issue here, dude. I’m talking about drawing a line in the sand, dude. Across this line, you DO NOT… Also, dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.
So like, you draw lines on the sand across which Chinese can’t masturbate ?
.
BTW since when are all the Chinese from the US ?
Lebowski fail???
What the hell are you writing about ?
.
Would you please make the effort, at least TRY to write something that either does not stink of compensatory over-sized ego or has any meaning at all ?
.
Fail-reference spotting fail, common sense fail, ethnicity fail, IQ fail, your momma fail, birth fail, penis and stuff
Obviously you’re not a golfer.
Nah, don’t like handling balls.
Has the whole world gone crazy? Am I the only one around here who gives a shit about the rules? Mark it zero!
You know, this sexual tension between you guys is getting out of hand. You need to do something about it or it will just fester and annoy the hell out of everyone else.
…he started it.
Naahaaa HE started it ! MoooOOOooom !!!
*smack*
*smack*
NOW GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE YOU MAKE ME HURT YOU AGAIN
That’s right, I’ve had just about enough.
Dragonwriter, I know I’m new here but…
I think these guys deserve a good *FOOM!*
B-b-but I thought MrDan had to check with you first to see if he was about to say something stupid. Again. *sigh*
My comment of “Failed BIGTIME” was in reference to the comment above it, “Well, there was the guy whose elbow failed….”, and it did – BIGTIME! As to this name calling of dummy…..check the mirror, hoss.
I did. I saw a young handsome man with a functional brain and his wee-wee still on.
(3rd grade joke prevention : yes it was me and there was nobody else in the roon bla bla…)
Did you say functional brain? There had to be someone else in the “roon” if you “saw” that.
Oooh, Tiamat…you missed a PERFECT response here: There did have to be someone else in the room, and “It was I.”
Only I can’t use that one, seeing as how I’m a woman of the female persuasion.
Why can’t women have functional brains, too? I don’t know if you could really call my brain functional anyways. It has its intelligent moments, but many times it fails miserably.
Oh sweetie. It’s a good thing you’re cute.
I can’t use it because he looked in a mirror and saw a MAN.
If I were to say “It was I”…get it??
*cuddle*
Oooh, isn’t it cute, they tell each other the right things to answer to a typo over the internet because they’re too scared to speak to each other in real life.
Breakin’ me heart.
He could have gender confusion. O.O (see what I mean about my brain not functioning at times…probably because it’s almost 10 pm here and I need to wake up at around 7.)
Oh please. Trying to cover up your own grammar fail by calling it a “typo”…do you think you’re fooling me?
GAWD I love it when trolls think they are smarter than I.
In fact, I think he does have gender confusion. He meant to say female in the first place.
Yeah, like, the letters M and N are MILES away on a keyboard.
GAWD I love it when trolls think. Unfortunately they don’t.
Yet another reason why someone else had to be in that room with you.
No need to think to see myself as I am, handsone.
.
There, I let a typo for you so you can write a cheap joke.
I assume that saying you “saw a functional brain” in your earlier comment was a typo, too.
Hmm…My new cell phone has a ring tone in it called “Bossabutgo”.
Boss-a-butt-go.
Hey! Don’t you be insulting the female gender, Tiamat.
And Dan, I agree completely. About trolls not thinking, I mean. I think it’s so admirable that you have such perceptive self-awareness.
Nice HTML skills, btw.
Oh…and I forgot to mention (memory fail!) that your brain function seems to have completely missed the fact that I was commenting not on the “N/M” typo, but on your grammar mistake re: “me/I”.
I mean…I heard the whoosh as that one went over
your head.
Parsing fail, I know how to close a tag, thanks.
I am a self aware troll, yes.
Tiamat was writing about me by the way. We are not all macho pigs.
First off, what do you mean by “close a tag”?
I may have been writing about you, but she’s write, I insulted the female gender horribly. I also appreciate that you don’t consider me a “macho pig”. I like to think of myself as a Corsac Fox.
All right, I might sometimes miss a couple of you holy
language’s subtleties and use a construction that only
gives me 5,690,000 relevant matches on Google.
I learned by the example, it’s time you go out there and educate the crowds.
I wish you tell me what’s wrong with “saw” by the way.
Late reply to your 8:38 post.
Closing a tag is to indicate the end of the marked-up string.
For instance : opens the bold and closes it.
is a tag, like or .
Example :
I am happy to know Dragonwriter is write.
*chuckle*
I know…I was actually responding to Tiamat’s post way up there ^^, but you guys had posted a BUNCH more responses by the time it actually went through.
Context fail on me!
And I realize that not all men are macho pigs…but thanks for the reminder. (No joke or sarcasm there.)
The fact that you can’t see a functional brain just by looking in a mirror?
And here terrible fail to make the tags appear by spacing the characters.
.
.
.
and are opening and closing bold tags (without the dots)
See???? You did it again!
*is a slow-poke poster*
Please make it work.
Trying to make [b] and [/b] tags where []’s are ’s fail, epic epic fail.
Sorry for all that people.
I love you all anyway.
Dan…that was the first genuine LOL you’ve ever gotten from me.
Well done!
I want a genuine LOL from you. T_T
Sweetie, you’ve had MANY genuine LOLs from me.
*huggles*
Yay! Genuine LO…screw the LOL’s. I want the huggles.
*huggles*
*yay*
*hasn’t had a genuine LOL from anyone*
this is exactly how much consideration bikes and cyclists get on the roads…..it’s perfectly summed up in one picture.
pyramid 11
pyramid FAIL
I’ll help your pyramid.
SAW 12
crazy
irony is the key here…
Its a public service warning because of the increased amount of bike-related attacks recently in the area… bikes are dangerous creatures after all!
–
More like they put the sign there to warn bikers of other bikers… and failed at putting the sign where they did. >.>
HA! I know exactly where that sign is, I grew up around there LMAO
Oh, Orange County, California, how you never cease to bring us the fails. First it was Laguna Beach and now Dana Point too.
I seriously drove by this. *shakes head*
ok
Gaaaah can’t read more derisive flame-fanning…so starting new pyramid
Bikes on sidewalks: sometimes legal, sometimes not; sometimes a good idea, sometimes not. Where I live (Seattle), bikes are legally considered vehicles on the road but are allowed on most sidewalks so long as they yield to peds. I’ve been nearly-hit by cars while on roads, while on sidewalks, and while in parking lots; fortunately I have dexterity +3 and luck +5.
Invariably, the people who get most irate are the people who do not understand (or care about) the laws. I’ve been told “get off my road” and “get off my sidewalk” (similarly, Ive had cars refuse to pass when they had an entire, second, open PASSING LANE to the left; and I’ve had peds jump frantically into bushed when I was 50 ft away, moving at walking speed). It’s nice to have a place to call my own [a bike lane] when the DOT isn’t busy making it unusable.
IMHO, there is plenty of blame to go around. Bikers who don’t behave thoughtfully — do not signal when changing lanes, move at reasonable speeds when near peds, etc — make drivers and peds nervous. Drivers who do not treat bikes like legitimate vehicles, who do not provide us sufficient clearance when passing (3 feet, minimum; preferably a full lane width) force bikers to behave agressively; I often ride in the middle of my lane if it seems the driver behind me would attempt to pass unsafely.
And, just to get the flames going: a speed LIMIT is just that; if I’m going 5 mph up a hill in your lane, wait patiently until you get a passing zone. Or use the highway. And while you’re waiting, consider: why not take the bus instead?

PS just to get it out of the way: spellcheck fail, typo win.
Matters where you live, i would have to drive quite a way to get on a bus, or to get on the highway. It’s illogical out here at least.
Funny. Of course, wouldn’t think of inconveniencing motorists.
i can’t believe people have this much to say about biking rules (especially on THIS site). here’s my two cents or so: ride your bike wherever the f*ck you want, but just know that all of the responsibility/blame is on your shoulders regardless. whether you want to ride in a bike lane or on the sidewalk or between traffic lanes in the city or down the middle of the goddamn highway, go for it… just be sure to yield to pedestrians rather than scaring the sh*t out of them or knocking them over, AND yield to drivers rather than have them scare the sh*t out of YOU or knock YOU over. seems like a simple hierarchy to me.

personally, i’ll be much relieved when i get my driver’s license back and can tell my own bike to f*ck right off chap.

and oh yeah, i like this photo. =)
LMAO!!! This sign is literally right down the road from where I live in Southern California. We have bike lanes pretty much EVERYWHERE as we have a huge cycling population. But invariably they will bike in the main car lane anyway, as if they were a CAR. Which they are NOT.
Wow. great observation. I bet they are not elephants either.
Not all bike riders are assholes. I stay on my right, now the state laws regarding traffic and try to go as fast as I can in order not to be an obstacle.
This is not a FAIL. I’ve biked on this road before. I – 5 heading south to San Diego. There is a bike path up to Dana point, then the path ends at camp Pendelton Marine base – the only way to continue biking is to get on the freeway and there are 3 miles of trucks roaring by before you get to the oceanside exit. For those biking this sign is much appreciated.
Holy crap i totally know where this is. O.O my favorite beach Salt Creek omg lol
Did nobody understand that this was related to the two women who were paralyzed in dana point after a horrible bike accident?
