" Damn rumble strips" typical bike brain mentality that is out of touch with reality

Damn rumble strips????????
You must be joking. I fully understand that there are no shortage of idiot motorists who need rumble strips. The rumble strips pictured relegate to shoulder to a useless piece of asphalt for cyclists. If the stripe were flush against the fog line and half the width they are, they's still help save idiots from themselves and give riders a useful place to ride. Even occasional breaks in the strips would help.

You need to get tangled up with RABRAI ![[Linked Image]](https://ragbrai.com/wp-content/gallery/ragbrai-day-6-photos-hiawatha-to-coralville/des-m0725ragbraifriday-bh-610.jpg) I rode RAGBRAI. The people in the pass through and stopover towns LOVE it. So much so that they fight for it to come through.

Damn rumble strips. That'd be an ideal shoulder if it didn't have them. What difficulty did you experience in seeing or negotiating your way around that cyclist? I am reckoning I could see him on that road from a mile away, and it's not like traffic density is such that I couldn't easily pass him.
The highway was designed for motorized use. Cyclists believe they are special and deserve special treatment. So I need to change my driving habits to accommodate a cyclist. Do you need to change your habits? I certainly don't expect special treatment. Just like I expect when I drive my car, I expect not to be killed or injured through the negligence of others. Is that special treatment in your mind? I did some driving in addition to my riding yesterday. When I was driving and encountered cyclists, I didn't need them to do anything. I braked, slowed or steered around them as necessary. To expect other legal road users to do anything for me is to expect special treatment.

A guy who rides a bike on a road designed for cars going 65-70 miles a hour, with no more protection than a plastic helmet and a law that will try the person who accidentally kills him for manslaughter, calls the motorists "idiots".

Do you think rumble strips are for alert, attentive motorists or for idiots?

I think they're to try and remind bicyclists that roads are designed for cars and they should probably stay away. Bicyclists don't get the hint.

Amazing. This schit show is still going on?
Ample evidence that some here are not mature enough to be out in public much less driving.

That's why some cyclists are adamant about not using a shoulder. It invites a squeeze play like the dumbass motor home driver attempted. Far be it for them to slow until they could safely pass.

There are no shortage of mental or emotional midgets who cannot seem to safely share the roads with cyclists. Is it the physical, psychological or intellectual part you find so difficult?

Bicycles shouldn’t be on any road that doesn’t have a bike lane, let alone a 70mph highway. Few things worse than the summer chit show bike riders bring to MT. Bikes don’t pay for roads anyway, needs to be put into law.

Bicyclists on auto roads gettin offed is just natural selection at work.
Can only feel sorry for the auto driver they ran themselves into, and hope the cyclist hadn't reproduced yet.

Damn, I didn't notice the license plate on the bicycle.
I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.

Was hauling an 8N with semi u dozer still on (had permit to do so) and my pilot car had to persuade a California bicycle rider we needed the road for a minute.
Argument did not last very long . Friggin bicycles.
