License for cycling
Having the inspiration for my story out of the way, I shall get down to business and start complaining. This is, after all, a site meant for complaints.
Cyclists are inconsiderate, haughty, stupid assholes. I hate cyclists. Especially those that cycle on the pedestrian paths. Or more specifically, those that cycle along the path from my house to the MRT.
Do you know how many of the zoomed pass me on my 10min walk home today?
12. 12 stupid jerks. and 6 of them happened to confuse and disorientate me at the traffic junction. AT THE SAME TIME. I'm so d*mn irritated tt if the 13th cyclist appeared then, I'd swear the Id in me will take over my body and send tt unfortunate but irritating soul onto the grasspatch with a kick on the bike.
Cyclists are haughty because they think that owning a bike makes them SPECIAL. and being SPECIAL gives u all the right to forget about how COMMONERS like you and me walk. It's like humans having evolved to using complicated tools and machineries to cut down trees, while forgetting that primeapes are our family, and that once upon a time we used to climb trees like them. Similarly, because cyclists possess superior machines, we commoners have to give way to them. Seriously, I'm so sick of hearing the cyclists coming from behind ringing tt irritating bell non-stop until he zoom pass me. HELLO??? Being without a bicycle does not mean I'm deaf ok???? n y do I have to give way to you, when I'm already walking at the edge of the pavement??? am I really that fat that you can't overtake me? oh! excuse me. maybe you've lost all your primitive ability for maneuvering on anything narrower than the original path.
Cyclists are idiots. Do you think humans have EYES on the back of their heads? do you think we have rear view mirrors to see wat's coming from behind? do you think we do not have a right to be caught off guard and hence start swearing if u stealthily zoomed pass us? wat happens if I were to suddenly change course and cut right in front of u? will u blame me for cutting into your lane, even though I cannot possibly see you coming??? asshole.
Now I'm not trying to be egocentric here. But C'mon, the solution is soooo simple!!! juz use abit of common sense and everybody will be happy! like get pedestrians to keep to the side of the walkway without the drain covers, so when the cyclist cycle over the drain covers, the sound of the rattling can be heard far off! the pedestrian can be prepared for the coming of the bicycle, and the rate at which it is coming can be judged from the rate of the rattling! simple! no rear view mirrors or irritating bells needed.
but of course, this doesn't give the cyclist the excuse for cycling on the drain covers only when he is nearing the back of the pedestrians. especially not when he's cycling at a high speed. high speed at close proximity = sudden loud rattle = shock of the lifetime. for the sake of the pedestrian's heart. I would suggest at least 3 drain covers before overtaking the pedestrian. this is me talking from experience.
So wouldn't you agree tt it's such a simple solution???? it doesn't take alot of brains. unfortunately, cyclists have evolved to a stage whereby they've left their brains behind, so in order for them to gain some pre-historic intelligence, let them get a license for cycling. get them to know the necessary considerations.
One must remember that it is on the PEDESTRIAN PATH that they're cycling on, not a CYCLING path. remember who's the boss, assholes.
