When I saw the subject, I immediately thought of that dorky neighbor in The Simpsons, and how funny it would be to have a Simpsons episode where that guy went to war on SUVs. Though it wasn't what I had expected, it was a great article.

Ah yes, lets blame 1 type of vehicle for all the worlds pollution and consumption woes.

Fortunately, the war on SUV's is going well here. We dont have one.

Apparently its because our war on stupidity is more effective.

The next SUV to ever knock me off my bike and flee will get their tires shot out with the 9mm, windows smashed, and the driver pulled out and beaten savagely with my bare hands. Being struck by a vehicle on a bicycle is not fun.

I'm with you, Toecutter. I've had 2 incidents with SUV's while on my bike this year. One nearly ran over my head after knocking me and my bike down, and they never stopped. (I don't even think they realized they hit anything.) The other pushed on my back tire with their front bumper and ran me off the road into a pile of debris on the sidewalk for trash pick-up. (Glass in there cut up my bike tires.)

I realize that slamming SUV drivers has been done to the point of cliche, but I don't have these problems with people driving other types of motor vehicles. The blue-collars and farmers in their trucks are very careful of me, most cars ignore me, but the SUVs love to *ZOOM* past, or try and edge me "out of the way", nevermind that I'm in a clearly marked bike lane.

I'm not a gun nut (nor am I opposed to them), but I am definitely at the end of my patience for this sort of asinine behavior. Didn't their mothers ever teach them better?!

I'm suprised about the last two posts here. I did not think any drivers would knock down cyclists. I already aggree thats it's too dangerous to ride a bike on the road with even light to medium traffic.

Apparently I am an equal opportunity target. I've been hit by a number of vehicles. Only one was a pickup. No suvs.

Don't you all get a little tired of being morally superior? Better to just have a gas tax and let the consumer make their own choices.

I saw 2 BIG SUVs battling it out on the road the other day. The one guy was trying to cut in on the right and the smaller SUV would not let him in. The big one just kept coming over and the little guy was heading towards ongoing traffic so he hit the brakes hard!

Of course they both rushed to get to the next red light.


I did get a look at the drivers:

Rules of the Road Say we supposed to be in the road. Furthermore it is the duty of the Car driver to be aware of his/her surroundings. In other words lose the Damned Cellphones.

[IslandCrow]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'U')S car giant General Motors is raising production of its largest sport utility vehicles (SUVs), despite fears that such cars are losing popularity. It will build up to 12,000 extra full-size SUVs, but is cutting spending on its smaller models as buyers switch to more fuel-efficient cars.
