Please don't do this here.

Bike vs. car flamewars are surprisingly close to the nastiest things we see here. Not to mention tedious.

That's vandalism. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Like you never do stuff that others think is wrong...

Live and let live.

Just as deflating the tire illegal.

Imagine there's no bike lane and you ride on the street, or when you wanna ride more relaxed, you ride on the sidewalk.

It's not a problem either way if everybody is somewhat relaxed. But with your mindset, everyone's against everyone.

Phew...

It just riddles me.

If you were in a car, you would be the type of person that honks at cyclist because in their mindset, it's illegal.

Common misconception. Riding on the sidewalk is considerably more dangerous than riding in the street. While you are less likely to be hit from behind, you are much more likely to be hit by drivers turning.

The difference is that blocking the bike lane is typically illegal (and dangerous to cyclists), and riding a bike on the road is typically legal (and at most irritating to drivers). The two are not equivalent.

Riding a bicycle on the sidewalk is illegal in almost every state and country. Riding a bicycle in the street is never illegal. I think you should learn the rules before you tell people that they should risk their lives for your convenience.

It's illegal in 8 states; unclear in 18; even if it was illegal in all of those it would be a slim majority, not “almost every state”.

Riding a bicycle is illegal on some roads, especially the highway (unless it's the only reasonable road, such as though a canyon).

That being said, far too many assume it's illegal to ride on the road, and "share the road" signs don't seem to effectively correct that misconception. I've even heard of drivers telling cyclists to ride on the sidewalk when they're already riding in a bike lane...

That being said, and as others have stated, riding on the sidewalk is not illegal in many areas, though it's less safe in most.

If you're suggesting that somebody slash a truck tire, you should know that's a good way to get maimed.

Said nothing about slashing, that's permanent damage.
