Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

He was probably downing a double bacon cheeseburger with some french fries as he drew that up.

Lazy snob. He should share the road.

I disagree. I think there's a good chance the cartoonist is a cyclist himself - just self aware, and willing to take a shot at himself for a laugh.

I feel the urge to organize a worldwide boycott of that website and every newspaper that runs that comic. I'm going to write my congressman and tell him about the unfair persecution of cyclists in this country. I'm going to every critical mass on the east coast and will piss on cager's wheels while simultaneously preaching my share the road philosophy. Those ******bags will NOT get away with this.
