There's a reason bicyclists are scorned across the country. Some people just refuse to see why and instead get on the internet and cry about it.
Spell it out for the "slower" folks that like to dress up and play with bikes on the highway.
They're a PITA on roads designed for automobiles, too slow, and often hog the lane creating passing hazards.
They're arrogant, feel entitled, inconsiderate, self-absorbed, passive aggressive (as opposed to outright aggressive like the motorists they piss off), elitists, and let's admit it, they look ridiculous in spandex outfits with a little foam helmet.
They're what's wrong with American values. Them and Walmart people.

And if I ever witness a bicyclist get hit by a vehicle on 13 or 200 I will only slow down to make sure the motorist's car isn't too badly damaged.
Dave Jeeze, even if all 400 Montana residents were on that road at one time, seeing a bicyclist on that road shouldn't be an issue. Interestingly enough, the very part of that highway I zoomed in to street view, there were cattle on the road. Yet another reason to never outdrive your line of sight. Are the drivers up there that bad?

So give me your best shot. In the end we may all learn something. ok when you are riding in a group, and a woman is in front of you, are you watching her butt? Rode with a friend for years,allways let her lead. And you would too.

Highways are built, and funded, by modern transportation. They are not a [bleep] entertainment device or exercise equipment. If you are taking up space on the road, do the speedlimit. If you can't, go somewhere else.

I want them to obey the rules (laws) of the road just like automobiles must do. In Oklahoma we have a traffic statute that mandates bikes must ride single file as close to the edge of the road as possible and one that require motorists to pass bike by at least 3 feet if safe to do so. The bike riders in my area insist on riding 3 or 4 across and can't be bothered to move to single file even when I honk to let them know I am coming up behind them. They also do not stop for stop signs or signal turns. That behavior pisses me off to know end.
Perry I have driven in OK before. Based on my observations, few of your motorists obey the law. The state of OK does NOT have a law that requires bicycles to stay as far to the right as possible. Bicyclists MAY ride two abreast according to OK law. Do you really want bicyclists to obey every law all the time?

That person is a grade A cockhole. Probably - but it's still funny as hell.. Besides, compared to riding a bicycle in China one would think THAT Cummins smoke is as fresh as a newly blooming tulip.. Best wishes...

I drive about 50K miles per year and can't think of a single instance where I was held up for even a full minute by a bicyclist. What's the longest you have ever been held up by a bicycle or a group of bicyclists? Tell me about that if you don't mind.

Their tax dollars are used to pay for the roads. Is it really that hard to move your steering wheel 2 degrees to the left or to press gently on your brake then on your gas?

It occurs to me from my participation in a number of different forums that Americans love to express their rage for bicyclists on the road. Only at rush hours. Have you learned that yet? I have been the only vehicle (motorized or non) on the road for miles and have been yelled at and brush passed. So were folks walking along the road yelling at you or did they come out of their houses? Any idea what compels them to do so? You are clothed, right?
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?
Immersing oneself in progressive lieberalism is no different than bathing in the sewage of Hell.

You'll have to follow this with a thread about bike lanes, so the same bike bitchers can bitch about them!

I was looking at the highway 13 that runs south to north connecting Circle, Macon and Scobey. It's a narrow road, but straight with good sight lines. At first glance, it looks like the kind of road I enjoy. Wide open prairie with mountains in the distance. I can't imagine there would be much traffic.
