Cher the Road.

Cher recently went on an eloquent (sure, it’s twitter, but I manage to speak English) extended hate-ginning-up rant against road cyclists.

Before we get to the good stuff, let’s just remind folks: cyclists are humans. Some will be jerks. The difference between a cyclist jerk and a car or truck jerk is, when they get in an argument, cyclists always lose.

So share the road. Often cyclists are instructed by signs (when there’s no shoulder or bike lane) to use the full car lane. I know this because I nearly get killed trying to obey the law even here in Boulder, where we don’t seem to bother to offer bike lanes on many major throughways (parked cars deserve the space, more, right?).

In any case, breathe. Chill. Communicate and listen. Road rage ain’t good for anyone—and if you’re famous and rich and you still are sounding off like a Terrible Two, well, that’s amoronic.

With thanks for the tip on the below Twitter Rant via Cher to Robbie Stout via 303 Cycling, who penned the below:

Nope, not in the 303 area but boy does this sound familiar. Cheri should get in touch with her county commissioner to get shoulders added to the roads and if her complaint is about those going downhill then try meditation (but not while driving please)

Via twitchy, and Twitter, and Cher herself:

Yikes! We haven’t seen Cher this angry since her latest tweets about Mitt Romney and “tea bags.”

Cher likes motorcycles, but who knew she detests bike riders with such passion?

Apparently many of her Twitter followers agree:

@cher Bicyclists are worse than people in Escalades! They think they own the fkn road!—

@Cher I hate when cyclists get in my way too. They ultimately have no respect for the drivers.—

And we thought Cher’s fans were worried about global warming. Silly us!
