Call me bubba all you want but people trying to get chit done shouldn't be held up by a bunch of FUUCKING idiots trying to get some exercise.

Ride your bike down the damn railroad tracks.




I am struggling to visualize a one mile bicycle induced traffic jam in Montana.






Not surprised.


Highway 2 is a peaceful little two lane.....



Maybe there is a reason why we try to move large farm equipment at 4-5 AM rather than 5 PM on a Friday afternoon.


The herds of ass phags peddling through during harvest must especially stupid.


I am sorry that their actions are so hurtful to you. Rest assured, I don't hold folks up for more than a few seconds.

But I have seen a cattle drive on MT state highway 278 (70 mph posted speed limit) that covered both lanes plus 50 feet on either side. Traffic had to come to a complete stop 300 head of cattle strolled around the stopped cars. Anybody bitchin about that?

Big groups of them make me wish I had a GD snowplow sometimes. They're usually the types whose Prius' have "13.1" decals on the back.

Did they have flaggers and were the cows(and workers) out there for recreation purposes?


We used to move cows across Highway 2 but it has become to dangerous/busy that we no longer risk it.

Takes more time but we corral and trailer them to the next pasture.


Trust me dealing with highways is not something I look forward too when becoming 'the pain in the ass'.

People becoming 'the pain in the ass'(on purpose and for fun) annoy me and apparently most everyone else.

[bleep] around on the highway is one thing, thinking you belong there is another.

I hate cows, unless I am eating it. Then I love them.

Trust me. There was only gravel, grass and a ditch to my right.

The only time we put cattle on the highway (intentionally) is when there is no other practical way to get "there" from "here"

That's a consideration I had, and NOT the source of my bitchin' smile

See - pavement to the right!

Neither cows or bicycles belong on a highway.

If you have to be there, be considerate. Acting like you belong there with either is a sure path to douchebaggery.

Not doubting that is the best way to run the cattle drive. Actually I believe cattle drives on the highway is somehow covered under the rules of free ranging. Just like biking is permitted by state law subject to the rules of the road.

Flaggers front and back is the only way we move them on the pavement.

You couldn't beat me hard enough to try Highway 2 with cows.

I wish I had a Walmart on both sides of me, would cut the traffic down nicely.

Maybe bicyclists should be required to have flaggers front and back? They might get a group rate on pilot cars.

One difference is in many cases the Rancher probably owned the road, before the state cut his ranch in half...........

We have two highways and a set of busy railroad tracks running through our home place.

That doesn't count power lines, fiber optic, gas lines and buried power not to mention a fricken river for a boundary.

And an airport is a mile away.

Traffic is actually getting so bad that I would seriously recommend that all future bicycle trips to the area be cancelled ASAP.

I don't mind cyclists as long as they do what I've always done when biking.... don't pretend you're the equal of a 2-ton vehicle. (Oh, and when the signs say "Bicycles use sidewalk", I resent the idiots who drive down one of the two narrow, curbed lanes of the in-town roads.)
