Asshole Rider of the Day

I'm about to get on the (no bikes) evening train when a guy with his mountain bike cuts me off to get on the train ahead of me.  Then, he asks an old man who can't be younger than 70 to move to the other side so he can sit with his bike.  He sits in the isle so someone else will have to sit behind his dirty tire, then when the train gets full he hassles someone for bumping him.

That is the worst behavior I've seen on BART for a while, it's been pretty tame recently.

Precisely why I hate bike

Precisely why I hate bike riders. They are a bunch of elitist assholes who think the presence of their
rolling coat hanger demands the respect of other passengers and affords them some sort of special
privilege. I always ride in the first car so I can avoid these holier-than-thou pricks.

In this situation, I think he would have acted like an asshole even without the bike. He just acted like that kind of guy.

the main reason for my

the main reason for my comment is that being an asshat is not mutually exclusive to bike riders...this is just a character trait that people have...like the guy that was too intent playing Angry Birds on his tablet yesterday and kept stumbling on a packed train, and stepping on my feet multiple times...Asshat.

So because you don't like

So because you don't like assholes on BART, you're going to act like one on the internet?

Cool logic, bro.

funny "bro" I am not acting

funny "bro" I am not acting like an asshat here. I am employing some sarcasm to break up my day at work, and commiserating with like minded individuals. I think your image says a lot about the kind of person you want to be portrayed as on the interweb "bro"
