Honestly, living in the city and biking alot, I agree with that whole heartedly, but that doesn't apply in all situations.

Riding a bike down old Gun just seems retarded.

Riding my ass when I am biking down Carey going 20, there is an open lane, and yet you sit on my ass flashing your lights, is downright rude.

Bikers do have just as much of a right to be on the road, but you have to be smart about it, and most bikers/ cars aren't, which is where problems lie.

 

The only thing that causes problems with that is bad/impatient drivers. As long as you can see the biker (if they have lights at night) then you should have plenty of time to plan your pass. Its the idiots that dont pay attention then come up on the biker suddenly that cause issues when they then get mad that they have to pass someone.

 

oh look here comes the bike crusaders.

 

So all you bikers won't mind if when you're driving, i just cruise ahead of you at about 12 miles per hour, regardless of speed limit?

 

Most half-decent riders can go at or near the speed limit on the roads they choose to ride.

If it's people on beach cruisers or BMX bikes or kids with training wheels that's another story.

 

On a bike? No.

 

And a considerate biker will move to the side.

Riding in the middle of a one lane road is just rude, but there are ways to ride so both people are accommodated.

And yes, a driver might have to slow down for a second. What a bitch.

It just pisses me off when I am riding down a 2 lane street, no traffic, in the right side of the lane, and get buzzed by some jackass doing 40 in the city, and refusing to change lanes.

 

Nope. I'll go around you.

 

I whole heartedly agree, thats completely idiotic! share the road, yes i agree, wait and follow at 10mph, fine i can deal. but it would in NO WAY surprise me if some cars and bike(r)s meet on old gun! bikes on that road make me relate to someone smoking a nice FAT cigar at a gas station.... boom? maybe, maybe not! no way to tell when, but its gonna happen.


i also agree with anyone who wants to bitch about the PURE IDIOTS, and/or rich PRICKS that drive that road...best yet - wind up wrecking their Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, Jag, Land Rover, etc. because they cant drive worth a crap! daddy, i need a new ($40K+) car...

 

I enjoy cycling down Old Gun
