Fair enough Coal Dump Pu$$ies, but I’m gonna tell ya in a group that size prob’ly at least three were Veterans.

The bicyclists I hate are the ones that can't ride single file but insist on riding two or three abreast so they can talk and socialize, acting as though it's their right to do so and the motorists are out of line.
What would be wrong with me riding 2-3 abreast in the right lane of this roadway in traffic conditions as shown?
They have to. They never know when they're going to come around a bend and have a dumb bass bike in the road.
Nobody should ever outdrive their line of sight. If you do, you are the idiot. It could be a cow, a mail delivery truck, a broken down vehicle, a rockslide or any other number of obstacles around the blind bend. I am more than a little disappointed that I have to point this out to a driver that considers himself smart.
And I never implied I was smart.
I can certainly respect honest self-assessment.

Naah, my son’s friend nearly broke his ribs when he landed on his Glock, look for a handlebar bag.

Certain Liberal folks have been taught that if they are riding a bike , they are special because they're saving the planet. I used to ride bikes a lot, but I knew I would lose a fight with even a Yugo, so I was careful to avoid cars.
I am amazed at the number of people here who readily admit they don't have the emotional or intellectual faculties to safely and politely interact with other road users. I drive too. I never have had an issue at all safely or courteously interacting with law abiding cyclists.
I drive a very curvy road everyday. No shoulder, dips, rises, curves, trees blocking line of sight....It's an incredibly stupid road to try and ride a bike on.
One day I slowed to share that point of view with a few cyclists. They didn't seem receptive.
I rode for years, still like to fugg around on bikes, but can't fathom that level of idiocy. It's gonna really ruin my day if one of those dumbazzes goes under my truck.

Your statement only affirms the average motorist's point of view.

He's on the sidewalk, then into the cross walk, on the wrong side of the road, and going through a red light, and for that matter, a do not walk light for pedestrians. Cathy locked up the brakes, laid on the horn, gave him the stink eye, and used some sailor's language not fit for your tender ears, gentlemen. She couldn't have missed him by more than 6 inches. The dufus is lucky he's alive. Why is it that bicyclists think the rules of the road never apply to them?
Why is it that dumb fugking motorist attribute the actions of a few to a population as a whole?
Maybe because it was the ENTIRE pack of about 30 that ran the stop sign and forced the oncoming car to either head for the ditch, run over their asses, or come head on into my lane...... choosing the latter and forcing me into the ditch.................
And then there is my favorite........ when they don't like me being behind them at 20 MPH they will motion me around, on a double yellow, and a curve, going up a hill....................
....... and when you come into the cafe after your little run............ those pedal clips on the bottom of your shoes, or whateverthehell they are, combined with sweaty spandex really ruins my coffee..............
Other than that your probably a real nice bunch of guys to hang with.......................

Are you incapable of operating at speeds that allow you to react to things that may be around blind bends? If not, then it is you who is stupid. Your day will be ruined when the civil and possibly criminal proceedings follow.

If you are concerned about what might be around the bend, you certainly have a leg up on most of the mindless dolts speaking up in this thread.
Paul - The speed limit on this particular road is 35 mph. At 25 mph, in several spots, you would likely have a hard time avoiding a collision. At that speed or slower you would risk causing an accident with other vehicles.
There are roads that are simply not safe for bicyclists.

Have you been to a large city with the rental electric scooters? We were in Denver last week and those things were everywhere. They do about 15mph and are all over the place. A wonder more people don't get smashed on those things.

If that were the case I'd slow my driving down so that I didn't outdrive my line of sight. My experience tells me there can be any number of hazards around a blind bend. Driveway entrances where someone may be pulling out. Mailboxes where a mail carrier is stopped. Stalled vehicles. Tractors. Fallen trees. Livestock. Wild animals. The list goes on. I have a choice as a motorist. Drive at a speed that allows me to react, or drive with negligence. I choose the former.
