UCD Bike Etiquette

This is my own compilation of rules that, while heretofore undocumented, are courtesies that anyone can (and already should) abide.

1. Ride in a straight goddam line and avoid swerving for no reason.

If whatever you are doing impedes you from riding in a straight line--whether it's your iPod, cell phone, or trying to do a

These rules should be abided everywhere, not just in the city. Fuckin' tailtaggers. Anyway, hope you get this, and just so you know, it's me! Nate! Ciao later!

OOH! Yay fun rules reeking of Obvious Man and dry wit! I say we add some fun, less serious rules. Like...if you're ugly, your helmet should be full body armor...or stay off the road. Or something completely un-PC like that. And sad as it will make you for me to say it:
Girls in short skirts... Do. Not. Ride. Bikes. No one wants to see it and you will merely cause accidents as people's head's turn not because you're as gorgeous as you think you are but because they can't believe you're that stupid.

Here's the thing I object to: A bike is a vehicle, yes, but not exactly comparable to a car (seriously, which is more painful/fatal, getting hit by a car or by a bike?). So them expecting the right of way is fine, cause yea, they have a place on the road. But shit, riding in the lane of traffic? When there's a BIKE LANE 15 FEET TO THE RIGHT OF THEM?!?! FUCK THAT SHIT. That's called having a death wish. And perhaps being an ornery turd.

Important rule: try to maintain a constant speed. Don't swerve for no goddamn reason and for the love of God don't stop for no goddamn reason. And hell, if you're in the middle of the road, don't stop at all!!
