APOPKA, Fla. – An Orange County man who received two citations while riding his bicycle on a narrow, dead-end street may face an even bigger legal battle.
Local 6 first reported on Sunday that Gary Elswick, 51, received two citations for failing to come to a complete and full stop and driving the wrong-way on a one way street. Each ticket is for $164.
…
In Elswick’s case, Orange County Deputy Jovani Santo-Hernandez put a slash through the “vehicle description” box on both citations. Therefore, Bustos says, it would be impossible for court personnel to know that the vehicle was a bicycle and not a vehicle, and points would likely be assessed to Elswick’s license. [Click Orlando]

So much fun when bicyclists bitch about stuff like this. What, you mean just because I ignored a “wrong way” sign and a stop sign you think it might signal that I’m not a good driver? You think the fact that I blatantly don’t follow the rules of the road is some kind of indicator that I don’t follow the rules of the road? Well look at you and your well-reasons conclusions, Mr. Logical.
Hey I’m all in favor of points going on this guy’s license, clerical error or no clerical error. I mean you don’t need a license to ride a bike (which is bullshit, by the way). So how else are people gonna know you drive like an asshole unless they tack those points onto your license?
Listen when you blow through a stop sign and get hit by a car, it’s THAT guy’s insurance that has to pay for having your handlebars wrenched out of his muffler. So I don’t want to hear shit about how your insurance premiums went up. Moral of the story is you act like an asshole you get treated like an asshole. Just the way it goes.
I HATE BICYCLISTS 
You have obviously never commuted on a bike, some people like myself have no choice but to ride and people need to have more respect for bikers
No, they really don’t.
Really and why is that? What makes osmeone with a bicycle so muh less of a human being that they don’t deserve respect? Are some of them ass holes? Yes, they are, but some of us don’t have the means for a car and actually respect the law.
Is it just me or does “ass hole” look way worse than “asshole?” It just conjures up images of a gaping ass HOLE. Listen Brooke, I’ll call bicyclists assholes, but I’ll never call them ass holes. You need to check yourself reel in your language.
Why don’t they deserve respect? Let me tell you EXACTLY why. I live in a small town, kind of historic one (Brownsvile Oregon, they filmed Stand By Me here..) anyways, it tends to draw a lot of weekend cyclists and the occasional race or whatever and they flood our small town.
They ride in the middle of the lane, won’t get over for traffic, and blow past the stop sign across the street from where I work in droves! I shouted at a couple as they breezed through on day “hey don’t worry about STOPPING or anything!” The pricks laugh and yell back “we won’t”. Are you fucking kidding me? This is why people hate you guys with your “Share the road” stickers that translate to “let me break all the rules of the road and get really pissed when you honk or yell at me”. Let me ask any of you bike riders that also happen to drive cars on occasion a question. How pissed off would you get if you were just driving along and suddenly your trip was slowed down by another car that wanted to do 15MPH and refused to pull off and get out of the way and let people pass. Would it piss you off? Would it be against the law? Hell yes it would be! If you want to use the road and drive in traffic, then follow the fucking rules! it’s just that simple. Even the local farmers here, who have a LEGIT reaason to be moving slow equipment from one field to the next, know when to pul their tractors off to the side and let traffic pass, why can you? You take our beautiful scenic winding back roads where no on can see ahead to pass you and just block up the fucking lanes. At the very LEAST you could stay or your side of the fog line, you don’t need to be in the middle of the lane. Screw you guys.
