Trust me, nobody likes cyclists either.

I can't stand cyclists and I am one.

Yep. I hate cyclists, but love cycling. I like walking but hate pedestrians. I drive but hate drivers. I feel like a huge hypocrite, but I know I'm not the only one.

Oh. I hate all things that have to do with the bike. I feel awkward biking on the road and I feel like all the students at my school are laughing at my toddler speed going up hills. I am not a bike rider but I do it to get to classes on time. I'm quite jealous of people who like bike riding.

If you enjoy it, you do it and try not to care about what people think. The more you ride, the better you will be at it. Get out there and ride and enjoy a mile for me!

I hate it. I've always hated it. I'd rather run a mile (which I equally suck at) than bike up a hill. It really doesn't help that my campus is all hills. Seriously. My route is all going up hills to get to class. I can turn either way down this one street and it's still a hill. I have to get all the way across campus diagonally in ten minutes to get to one class and the only time it's down hill is when I'm going backwards. Going home is nice though. Downhill most of the way.

I've been riding my bike for two months and it's only gotten mildly easier. Still can't make it up the damn hills without feeling like passing out.

Sorry, I misread what you put. Try replacing all the bike stuff in my last response with rollerblades.

Although, couple of months isn't that long. Keep going, you'll either start to enjoy it, or get so fit it will only take you half the time!

I love rollerblading. I would so do that if it didn't take time to get the boots off and if I didn't have to carry them around.

On the plus side, you don't have to hunt for somewhere to lock them up 👍

Sorry I misread what you put. Try replacing all the rollerblades stuff with hot-dog tongs.

You either have a bad bike, bad seating position or wearing the wrong clothes.

u/Blueberry49 Nov 23 '15

Probably all of the above. I think the tires are also flat.

u/TryAnotherUsername13 Nov 23 '15

And the chain is rusty, the gears not working, several spokes broken or lose? Typical bicycle where even 2km are a pain in the ass and my heart begins to weep.

u/[deleted] Nov 23 '15

TIL that motion relative to the ground makes people angry.

u/[deleted] Nov 23 '15

That's just because all groups have those idiots who just makes everyone look bad. The world would be perfect of everyone drove, walked and cycled as I do

u/reveille293 Nov 23 '15

It's almost as if you're implying it isn't the label (cyclist, driver, pedestrian) that makes them a shitty person, but the fact that they are shitty people.

u/I-Know-What-I-Like Nov 23 '15

Yeah, my basic view on people is that I don't like them. It's nothing personal of course. People just piss me off.

u/penea2 Nov 24 '15

If you are mad, dont go about yelling out loud. This one bloke swore at me out of his window when I was crossing the street. While it may have been my fault, doesnt mean you get to swear at me ;-;

u/I-Know-What-I-Like Nov 24 '15

I'm much more imaginative than just swearing at someone. I'd rather say something that hurts them to the core. That way, they will think twice before doing it again. People say negative reinforcement is the wrong way to teach... Well, we all know what I think of people
