IT'S TIME TO START ISSUING TICKETS TO RECKLESS KANSAS CITY CYCLISTS!!!

I was watching a pretty interesting report last night about the dangers that cyclists face on Kansas City streets and I noticed that the coverage was rather sympathetic.

In fact, all I hear from the vast majority of cycling advocates is obnoxious crybaby antics that liken the struggle of bicycle short wearing dweebs to the Civil Right Movement or the current Eastside Massacre that takes place every summer. Once again, it's clear that nobody plays identity politics better than liberal, middle-class white people who want the entire town to accommodate their hobby.

Let's look at the facts:

Kansas City has a bike transportation co-coordinator . . . Basically a lobbyist paid for by taxpayers for all issues related to biking in Kansas City. A government rep for the hobby of a middle-class and elitist sect is probably the closest to a dictionary definition of SUPREMACY and PRIVILEGE that I can get.

Middle-class (mostly liberal, white, well-intentioned people) are constantly attempting to get the State of Missouri to subsidize their hobby. This State doesn't have money for health care but making sure that cyclists are taken care of is somehow a priority for these horribly selfish people.

And now thug-like cyclists are getting in open confrontations with drivers who won't bend to their will (No Homo?) . . . Along with using the same shakedown politics to advocate for their cause and stir up political pressure against otherwise innocent drivers who are involved in accidents with cyclists.

Put simply, a cabal of well-organized, liberal, elitist hipsters are using political thuggery in order to remain above the law on Kansas City streets!!!

For the most part, drivers are licensed, regulated and held accountable for their actions whereas any jerk can climb on top of a bike and automatically assume a persecution complex.

Drivers are supposed to obey speed limits, traffic signs and a variety of rules of the road. Meanwhile, a great many (most) cyclists in Kansas City want all of the rights of car traffic with none of the responsibility. Cyclists like the Critical Mass Crew regularly hold unsanctioned, unlicensed and unregulated parades through city streets in order to flex their political muscle (ew) and flaunt their unregulated status. Most cyclists in this town can regularly be seen darting in and out of traffic, ignoring traffic signs, endangering law abiding drivers and otherwise making a nuisance of themselves.

The demand for respect among cycling advocates is hypocritical is light of the vast majority of irresponsible and dangerous people on bikes in Kansas City.

Still, these d-bags whine about their entitlement to the road but with those rights comes great responsibility . . .

THEREFORE, IT'S TIME FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT IN KANSAS CITY TO START ISSUING TICKETS TO CYCLISTS WHO ARE CAUGHT BREAKING TRAFFIC RULES!!!

TKC's suggestion is that this crackdown needs to start not only with the Critical Mass crew but also with obviously middle-class (mostly white) cyclists who have expensive bikes and can obviously afford to pay a fine. It's these folks who demand the most of Kansas City drivers so, in turn, they should be held responsible for their dangerous behavior as well.

Ticketing middle-class, mostly white cyclists with expensive bikes would provide a much needed source of revenue for Kansas City. And while I'm not in favor of any kind of racial profiling - from what I've seen most of the local cyclists guilty of being dangerous jerks on the road just happen to be 20 and 30 something white guys . . . Therefore addressing the crisis at this point makes the most sense . . . Or at least that's the same argument I hear from folks who encourage racial profiling when it comes to Black people and Latinos; so turnabout is fair play, right?

Anyhoo, the most important thing to remember is that Kansas City Cyclists are out of control for the most part. The petty political thuggery of this group along with their unregulated presence on the road has made cyclists both a danger to themselves and drivers . . . IF local cyclists want the same privileges as drivers THEN they must be held to the same standards and regulation faced by drivers and I don't think I've ever seen a biker short wearing dumbass being pulled over and given a ticket. It's time for that to change!!!
