They have a right to ride on the road. My issue is they want to ride on the road but ignore traffic laws. If they ride on the road, they are obligated to follow the traffic laws. I had a guy give me the bird and question my parents' marriage after I stopped for a stop sign in my pickup and then proceeded into the intersection. He was on a bicylce and coming up to the same stop sign but assumed I would wait for him because he was on a bike.03Lightningrocks wrote:Heck... I can understand a person wanting to throw bricks at a bicyclist, but ramming them with a car is going too far. Coming around the corner to a nut job going four mph on a bicycle in the middle of the road is enough to set anyone off.philip964 wrote:http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2013/04/ ... -incident/
Does any one know the joke about the difference between a BMW and a porcupine?its funny to me that my whole generation were constantly warned to stay out of the road on our bicycles. Then along comes thousands of lance armstrong wanna bees who make out like they have some kind of right to the highway, even though they pay zero registration fees for the vehicle they ride on them. Before you know it, spandex wearing dare devils all over the country side are blocking traffic with self entitled disregard for the hazards they create.
I also strongly dislike the bicyclists trying to pass by me when I am stopped. If they want to ride on the road, they have no business riding up the side or in between cars at a light so I have to go around them again after the light turns green.
You can't have it both ways.
