Bike Ragers in Portland: Bi-Psycholists*

*Thanks for a 5th Listener for that suggestion! Bi-Psycholist: commiting an act of rage against cars, bicyclists, bus drivers. Their slogan? Rude, Crude, Elude, with a 'tude.

In order to better identify the culprits on bikes who share the road with cars, why not:

Require fluorescent vests with the license number of the bicycle, or
Visible bicycle license on the back of the seat.
Topics for discussion: How do you get the bad bicyclists to license their bikes? What rules of the road do you believe bicyclists need brushing up on?

  1. Yesterday my wife and I saw a guy on a bike (looked to be in his mid-20s) without a helmet run the fourway stop signs on the corner of NE 49th St. and 122nd Ave. in Vancouver. He did not look right or left, just kept going as hard as he could. I honked at him, but all I got for my effort was his little gesture that told me I was number 1.

    There never is a cop around when you need one.

  2. A 5th listener emailed me to tell me that the fight back /bike/gun is still on the Steel bridge.
    The way bike groups act it seems reminds me of gang behavior...complete with tagging.
    Why haven't city/county officials removed this graffiti which appears to urge armed response to those who bicyclists think slight them?
