I biked every day from age 50 to 68, but then had to quit because of cars passing me on blind corners. 25 mph zone, I bike at 21 mph, cars want to go 35 mph.
The worst was in a hairpin curve I was being passed while oncomming another car was passing another bike. I was crowded off the road and into the bushes, and so was the oncoming bike.
The difference between staying behind you in those blind corners and passing you was probably 5 full seconds, you disrespectful ass. Happy hour only lasts so long.
You can rail against human nature all you want, ain’t gonna change anything. Traffic laws ain’t gonna save you either. Ride a bike in the roadway you’re liable to get run over, just the way it is. I figure the odds are maybe a tad less than a pedestrian in the road getting hit but that’s just conjecture on my part.
Anyhoo... I put in my regular ten on the bike alongside commuter traffic today.
"Rail against nature." LOL. I simply put things into their proper perspective.
