Madeira Beach is more in St. Pete/Clearwater than Tampa.

something, something...That's a stabbin'

I'm not saying I approve, but I understand.

Good old Mad Beach.

That's what he gets for wearing those stupid shorts.

WTF? A person can't get all stabby on a bicyclist without everyone losing their minds anymore?

Nunpoo: Madeira Beach is more in St. Pete/Clearwater than Tampa.

McDondald's, stabbings? I thought barrier islands in that area were supposed to be nice. Is this place kind of rough? Because I'm always on the lookout for cheap beaches preferably with a plethora of dive bars, and I don't mean faux dive. I'm comfortable with dive dive.

This is why we need to ban bicycles

Riding in an alley behind a mcdonalds, sounds more like a "guy on a bike" than a "cyclist".

That distinction only exists to cyclist who really want to separate themselves from the rest of the drek.

Where I live (not Florida), it's usually the bicyclists who stab/shoot.

Ride-by shootings = no license plate for witnesses.

Was anyone else a little disappointed after reading the article that it wasn't about some bicyclist flipping end over end after being hit by a car?

Thread's ovah...you got it.

A detailed description of the suspect was not immediately available.



There has been too much violence. Too much pain. But I have an honorable compromise. Just walk away. Give me your Quarter Pounder, the fries, the shake, and the whole compound, and I'll spare your life. Just walk away and we'll give you a safe passageway in the alleyways. Just walk away and there will be an end to the horror.

Sorry 'bout that.

Doesn't look that omnipotent to me.

As a cyclist, I was hoping the Mad Max-iness was gonna go the other way, as in a gang of Tampa Bay cyclists beats the crap out of a clueless "driver," chains him to the burnt shell that was his car and rape-rapes his girlfriend while he watches. But yeah, a random stabbing behind a Micky D's doesn't seem to have much in common with the Mad Max story line.

You're making the rest of us cyclists look great with this craptacular post.

Thanks.

No witnesses. Somehow, I'm thinking that the crazy man stabbed me story is made up. Probably a drug deal gone sour.

I was a serious bicyclist when I was younger but between the cars and the stabbers it just isn't worth the risk anymore.

Lighten up, Francis. You're making the rest of us look like hyper-sensitive douche bags.

Maybe when you're old enough, your mom will let you see the original Mad Max. Until then, suffice it to say that I was just describing the scene in the movie captured in the fourth picture down (possibly NSFW, new window) and switching "motorcycle gang" with "gang of Tampa Bay cyclists."

I was thinking of something more on the line of a critical mass gridlock of bikes being interrupted by a semi driven by a methed out redneck. That's some Mad-Maxxiness I can get behind.

it is hinky. reeks of crotch grabbing, small amounts of money. that type of thing.

/nobody showed, Maxie. nobody showed. not the girl, the townspeople...

precisely my thought as well.

I don't support Critical Mass, but I can't get behind seeing them mowed down either. Maybe splashed a bit with really gross gutter water? :-) Hmm, I guess that would be more, "Grumpy Max," not "Mad Max."
