That would be my only gripe as well.

Lots of bikes in Boise and lots of "Share the Road" bumper stickers and fortunately lots of bike lanes so bikes and cars don't have to share the same lane. Even where there are no designated bike lanes most stay well to the side of the road so you can pass okay, but every once in while someone is riding out in the lane on a busy two lane road so you can't pass, and going maybe 25 in a 30-35 mph zone. I don't mind sharing the road as long as someone isn't being a hazard.

Then there are a few foolish people who like riding against traffic in bike lanes or on sidewalks. I've pulled out of an intersection to make a right turn and almost hit or been hit by someone coming the wrong way - your attention is to the left on traffic coming in the lane you will be pulling into. But I've never seen the Spandex road bikers do that, it's almost always some teenager that doesn't GAF anyway.


Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
