Rude Portland Bicyclist on MAX

Originally uploaded by ahockley.
Portland is touted as a bike-friendly community, which is cool by me, except for the occasional idiot like this guy. Instead of using the bicycle hook to hang his bike on the side of the train car, this jackass locked his bike to an upright post where it then blocked half of the aisle and took up a bunch of standing room.

Of course, one of the discussions on bikeportland.org led to a commenter telling me that TriMet shouldn’t be trying to carry more people, only carry more bikes. I guess attitudes like that lead to asshat behavior like this.
