Why Your Area Sucks.

This thread is for all the reasons why your city, state, country sucks or isnt as cycle friendly as you want it to be.

Korea Stairs; why they're cool

New York Earth Day; why we suck

Rocky Roads and bad drivers! Most of all bad scenery. In south san diego

Hilly. Paradise hills. Drivers don't care for bikers. Night riding is too scary, in some parts. Haha

San Diego in general... some unavoidable big hills and reckless, ignorant drivers. One forced me into an oncoming lane once >

listen kids - until you've tried to ride road bikes or BMX in Victorville, CA, where there are no sich things as sidewalks, tolerant people, or skateparks, San Diego is the fuckin legit city to live in! haha.

Spring Valley: eh.

Loads of hills, rocky roads w/ potholes, ghetto hood, crappy and rude drivers. I swear, riding through Grand Ave (SV) at 9PM was a near death experience. The 7/11 on the Jamacha Blvd. got robbed for like the 3rd time this week.

Of course, they'res those nice stretches with decent pavement, but the negatives outweigh the goodies.

My area sucks cuz no one from here posts on this forum. I feel like i'm all alone here.

This

Old Thread. However, I live in north Mississippi (Oxford) and can say its the best and worst place to ride fixed. Beautiful views, yet awful drivers. I'm also one of maybe 5-10 people in a college town who ride fixed on a regular basis. Not hating on my town, just throwing my 2cents out.

No hills and retarded drivers.

Here in long beach the drivers ain't too bAd it's the shitty roads n cops u have to watch out for

I ride from Carrollton to Dallas several times a week and cheat with a bus ride. I feel like these people want to kill me. They'll tail you and throw things at you. It's like they've never seen somebody riding a bike.

Oak Cliff is becoming a bit more friendly to cyclists, and I've heard they have a little fixie "scene" somewhere.

I miss living in Denver, that city was pretty friendly as far as cycling goes. Roads sucked though.
