"Sanctimonious"? How much of a "snarl-up" is "asking for trouble"?

Is using the inside lane for 200ft before turning "asking for  
trouble"? Is taking the lane at the traffic lights so that one can  
overtake 4 or 5 slower riders when the lights change "being  
sanctimonious"? (because that precise action got myselt and another

Mmmm, smoked turkey.  Nothing like hanging around while that's going on 
and breathing in deeply

(We don't have a smoker, but I'm occasionally at other houses while a 
turkey is being smoked, and it's absolutely delightful whenever someone 
checks on it and lets more of that luscious aroma out)

First, I have trouble with the phrase "asking for trouble", although I know
what it means. It sounds too much like justifying violence for my tastes.
Even so, I think I know what the phrase intends to convey. The clearest
example of this would be a white person driving into Watts (a black LA
ghetto), rolling down the window and shouting "Get a job you lazy N...s".  I
would prosecute blacks who beat that white person, but I would also consider
the white stupid beyond belief.  So, since I cannot think of a good
substitute, let me use it with the caveat that "asking for trouble" never
justifies the trouble that may come.

I would guess that the example I gave of miles long backup would be "asking
for trouble", although not nearly as badly as the previous example.  I
didn't actually see that long of a snarl, but I did see a half mile long
backup while cyclists were deliberately slowing traffic on a freeway
frontage road. That was on the borderline.  I would guess you would consider
these cyclists idiots for not letting traffic by, or riding in on a parallel
paved path without the traffic. They don't deserve to be hit, but I think it
would be reasonable to write laws that included fines for this type of
action.
 
As an aside, I have some knowledge of the difficulty for commuting cyclists.
A long time ago, when I first started working in Houston, I commuted 3 miles
each way by bike for a while.  I took side roads, sidewalks, etc., because I
wasn't going to ride in Westheimer commuter traffic (a very busy road in
Houston).  Even so, I was hit twice while riding.  Neither time was it a
serious at all, but I decided that, with two accidents in 6 months,
accidents had to be considered a regular occurrence, and that there was a
reasonable chance the next one would be worse.  That was the end of my
commuting by bike.

None of those actions by you seem unreasonable. The bloke you referred to,
on the other hand, does seem unreasonable.

 
> What you're saying is that the weak should give up their rights to

Actually, while "asking for trouble" is a poor choice of words, I don't
think that he's advocating that the weak should give up rights to the
strong.  I don't consider riding on any particular road a fundamental right.
I don't think the prohibition of bikes on freeways, for example, is a step
on the way to a loss of liberty.

> 
> That's how America started, right? No... wait... the weak *took back
> their rights*. Remember?

Cyclists with bikes that cost more than $500 are usually more likely to be
among those in the upper half of income in the US.  The truly powerless
rarely have nice bikes.  The folks I've seen who ride on/near high traffic
high speed roads usually look as though they have a good deal of disposable
income.  The designer riding outfits, along with the very nice bikes, are my
clues. 

Also, I don't see operating a given means of transportation on a given road
a fundamental right like "life liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
Prohibiting bikes from high traffic high speed roads does not strike me as
an essential affront to liberty like "taxation without representation" or
the forced quartering of soldiers.  And, I know/knew cyclists who are
sanctimonious, like the ones who told me that massive backups "should be a
signal that cars are wrong."

Finally, you may not appreciate the background against which this argument
takes place in the US.  In particular, I'm thinking of the lawsuits.  I'll
give an example.  An emotionally disabled youth, after stealing something
from a store, ran out of the store, and into a car driving by in the parking
lot.  He ended up dying.  The key fact here is that he ran into the side of
the car, not in front of the car.  I'm not sure how a driver could possibly
stop someone from running into their car...especially darting out into the
road like that.

The driver is being sued for nearly a million dollars. 

Weekly Chat Reminder

[William T Goodall]

As Steve said,

"The Brin-L weekly chat has been a list tradition for over six
years. Way back on 27 May, 1998, Marco Maisenhelder first set
up a chatroom for the list, and on the next day, he established
a weekly chat time. We've been through several servers, chat
technologies, and even casts of regulars over the years, but
the chat goes on... and we want more recruits!

Whether you're an active poster or a lurker, whether you've
been a member of the list from the beginning or just joined
today, we would really like for you to join us. We have less
politics, more Uplift talk, and more light-hearted discussion.
We're non-fattening and 100% environmentally friendly...
-(_() Though sometimes marshmallows do get thrown.

The Weekly Brin-L chat is scheduled for Wednesday 3 PM
Eastern/2 PM Central time in the US, or 7 PM Greenwich time.
There's usually somebody there to talk to for at least eight
hours after the start time.

If you want to attend, it's really easy now. All you have to
do is send your web browser to:

  http://wtgab.demon.co.uk/~brinl/mud/

..And you can connect directly from William's new web
interface!

My instruction page tells you how to log on, and how to talk
when you get in:

  http://www.brin-l.org/brinmud.html

It also gives a list of commands to use when you're in there.
In addition, it tells you how to connect through a MUD client,
which is more complicated to set up initially, but easier and
more reliable than the web interface once you do get it set up."

RE: bikes v. cars

[jon louis mann]

 "Sanctimonious"?  How much of a "snarl-up" is "asking for trouble"?

i agree that the phrase "asking for trouble", is a bad choice of words
and can mean anything from provoking an attack to some aggressive, high
dominant, alpha male or even bi-polar driver may run you over, or
he/she is on the phone, changing the cd, and any number of possible
scenarios, especially if traffic is snarled, whether or no you are the
cause.

there may be situations when cyclists were deliberately slowing
traffic, and there are circumstances when a pack of cyclists are
pumping along in high gear, passing each other, and generally having a
great time.  there are poor people whose only form of transportation
are bikes and buses.  there are many kinds of cyclists including
lollygagging, idiots who may even be unaware they are slowing down
traffic.  i certainly don't consider them all to be idiots, anymore
that all drivers are idiots.  nor was i suggesting that they deserve to
be hit.  

there are laws that penalize cyclists, but that doesn't stop them any
more speeding tickets deter drivers.

i have commuted by bicycle and motorcycle, and  never had a serious
accident.  i spent several months peddling throughout new zealand in
1989.   i have been able to avoid many potential accidents due to my
lightening reflexes.~)  once when a driver doored me, i was cushioned
by his large bulk and the damage to my bike was minor.  the porcine
driver was angry at me for hitting him!~)
