ALL the cyclists where I live are self entitled stupid jerks who think they own the streets. They ride expensive looking skinny tired bikes with skinny seats and dress like wanna be bike racers. I'm sure that almost all of them are transplanted Democrats from........ I think this pretty well nails it. Judging from the pompous remarks from the OP, confirms it. Quote the most pompous thing you think I posted in this thread.

I haven't read the entire thread but do have a comment. For over 30 years I made my living working in the traffic engineering field. One of the basics of traffic engineering philosophy is to minimize speed disparity between vehicles. i.e. the greater the speed differential the greater the potential hazard. In order to overcome this it seems everything has to be dumbed down sufficiently to accommodate the cyclists.

I will give you plenty of room. But when you block traffic it makes me mad as hell.
If I wanted to drive ten miles per hour, I'd be on a damn bicycle!

... I defer to laws of physics long before I ever look to traffic laws to claim innocence.
^^ Best line of the entire thread!^^  I commend the wisdom of it to all cyclists, and for that matter, to all who use our roads in any way!

Along those lines, did you all know that in West Virginia, it's still illegal for women to ride bikes in public? Peddling p*ssy, it's been illegal since the coal mines started up.
