PaulBarnard: Does "this" describe you? Last month on a narrow two lane highway (one lane in each direction) between Alder, Montana and Virginia City, Montana I am driving along and come upon a slow moving bicyclist that had attached to his bicycle a 5' long stick with flag attached at the end. Problem was the "stick/flag" was extending horizontally not vertically! And said stick stuck into his lane of travel at least 4 1/2'!!! Causing folks travelling in his lane (ME!) to slow down and travel in the ONCOMING lane to pass around him! WTF I said to myself as I and the car behind me went into the oncoming lane and had to slow down in a limited sight section of the road. I was miffed at this dimwit bicyclist's idiocy but went on my way. The fellow in the car behind me DID NOT! He pulled in front of the bike/bicyclist and turned his car so the "biker" had to stop! I slowed as I watched in the rear view mirror - last I saw was the fellow in the car opening his door and getting out of the car - obviously to speak with the bicyclist in question. He-he I thought. I continue on to the gunshop in Ennis, Montana do my business and start backtracking towards my home on the route I had came. Who do I come across but said idiot bicyclist and he no longer has the long stick and flag extending into the lane of travel! It MAY have been shoved up his ass - I don't know? I myself worry about bicyclist using auto lanes and not keeping up to speed or staying on the shoulder as many roads where I live have NO shoulders. Bike safe! Hold into the wind VarmintGuy
Thanks for making my day with that story... 😃👍🏻
