All hybrids should have the "blooping" sound found common in cartoons like the Jetsons...

+1 for natural selection.

guess it's their fault..
personally I hate ppl on bicycles
get a car god damn it... or leave it for the parks
I've rammed one of those courier assholes before on purpose...

the guy was in the MIDDLE of the street swerving between 2 lanes...
he had his headphones on... so he couldn't hear a thing (biking and listening to music shld be more illegal than driving and talking)
I pulled up next to him and told him to get out of my way... he gave me the finger and started to tell me off... so I just rammed him into the parked cars.. he fell over and got his bike ran over...

moral of the story: couriers are hippy bastards that are not cars... so don't cause traffic for 8 cars and tell them off when they honk at you... you will get owned lol

Most ridiculous thing I've heard today (but it is still pretty early

) don't ride your bike in the damn street and you won't get hit by any stealth hybrids.
