  2. Remember the "3 Feet" Rule the next time you see a Bicyclist on the road...
    1) Stop your Car within the next three feet after you first see the Cyclist.

    2) Everyone immediately exit the Motor Vehicle and stand at reverent attention as the Cyclist slowly approaches.

    3) Drop to your knees and genuflect as the Cyclist passes.

    4) Stan after the Cyclist has passed and remain at attention until the Cyclist is no longer in sight.

    5) And, as the Lawyer for the Cyclists commands, carry extra Insurance so the Lawyer can collect more money.

  4. Anthony A. Belton Jr. made 2 mistakes that we know of the day he died.
    First, he left the house without his ID.
    Second, utilizing the mudshark as the getaway driver.

  6. Every notice how all cyclists flip the rules of the road out at people in cars all the time while they consistently break all rules of the road.

    Fuck them is my moto till the are required to carry insurance and register their bikes and pay road tax like the rest of us driving in cars on the road do. (Unless your black and generally have no insurance or current tags)

  8. Why is it the police's fault that it took them 3 days to identify a man who did not want to be identified? I get it that the surviving loved ones are frustrated over Belton's death, but do they really think the police WEREN'T trying do identify the unknown deceased?

  9. Go ride your bike at the park or through your lush suburban neighborhoods. Stay the F off of streets designed for many, many vehicles. Or, better yet, buy a stationary bike with a video console and pick "urban scenes" and imagine your riding your bike through NYC or Los Angeles, or wherever.
