7 pages by my count already. This shows a passionate and emotional love/hate for the spandex peddlers.

I think a solution would be for both drivers and bicyclists to carry tasers to nuke each other when either shows a blatant disrespect for traffic laws.

There is a pretty extensive rail to trail that runs near me. Pizzed me off that last summer they built a bridge to carry the bicycles and runners over a local roadway to the tune of $1.2MILLION+!!!! while meanwhile our local roads suck!!!

This sure is an unlikely forum for finding someone who supports more tax and more government. Should we require pedestrians who walk on the road to be registered and plated too?

around here I'd bet I see 50 cyclists blow thru stop signs, for every one single person who will actually stop at the stop sign before proceeding...

but If I saw some adult on a bike run right thru a stop sign and they got hit by a vehicle.. I doubt I'd have the motivation to even stop to help them..

I'd call 911, but that is about it... Stupid Should Hurt.. its the only thing that is going to teach these idiots a car or truck that weighs 50 times what they weigh isn't going to get hurt when they hit the cyclist...who didn't obey the traffic signs...

shooting right thru an intersection and not stopping, whether on 4 wheels or two wheels, is just plain personally stupid..

so they shouldn't be shocked when the outcome was different than they thought it would be....

I generally don't have an issue with bicyclists, though I do get grumpy when coming over a blind hill and they're right there in my lane. I often have to slam on my breaks because a car is coming in the oncoming lane and I can't get over until that oncoming car (or line of cars) is past. Even if they're not actually in my lane they're often too close for me to be comfortable passing within a foot of them at highway speeds. All it takes is for them to swerve slightly to miss a rock or piece of trash or whatever and I will hit them. I couldn't imagine having that on my conscious for the rest of my life, so it isn't just "their" problem. Two abreast or single file doesn't really matter to me, as there's "good" and bad things about both ways, from a motorists' perspective. I also don't like how they zip around in dedicated bike lanes in towns. It can be really tough to see them when getting into turn lanes.

If I come across them on an open roadway where I see them in plenty of time and no oncoming cars are coming, I don't care too much but it almost never seems to happen that way.

Isn't there a legal minimum speed one must go on federal and many state highways, or at least it could be considered reckless if going real slow? Tractors and such can be a pain here too but I believe by law they're required to have the orange slow moving vehicle triangle and maybe even have flaggers, depending on the location and local laws.

I'll make a point here...maybe not the one you had in mind...Automobiles are steel cages, weighing in most cases at least 3000 lbs. My truck weighs 6200 lbs. The car/truck is wrapped around you with all sorts of safety devices in the cabin, mainly multiple air bags. When riding a bicycle, you are wrapped around the small alloy frame on two wheels. The impact suffered by people driving cars or trucks is mainly absorbed by the vehicle. The impact when a cyclist wrecks is absorbed by the cyclist. You lose, often your life, even if you are in the right regarding traffic laws.

Well thank you very much for that Captain Obvious. The rule of gross tonnage. Duh. In the average year fewer than 1000 bicyclists lose their lives in accidents. There are over 40,000 motor vehicle deaths. Should I be afraid of driving too?
How many times more motor vehicles are out there.

Skunk screen would be better... but coon piss is still Rock Start funny

bear spray works great, once you come around the cycleholes, squirt a good stream up n out the window and they roll into the mist

technically you never sprayed anyone, they themselves rolled into it on their own free will, so it's their own damn fault

Bikers have a right but they should not cover the whole lane from line to line. At least give a automobile a opportunity to pass and crap wouldn’t happen!

I've ridden a bike for three years overseas to commute back and forth from work. A year in the middle east and two years in europe. I rode on the side of the road and got out of way of traffic (but to be honest, I left so early and late, there wasn't much traffic). I don't own spandex...and never had a problem.

Biker nerd gets on the forums and acts all superior to everyone else because their recreation is spent tying up traffic 'because they can.' They aren't usually going anywhere to do anything....just putting on their 'bike pride' spandex to clog the roads while everyone else it trying to get to Walmart and buy tobacco and gas before POTUS policies raise the prices again before Monday.

The walmartians driving in the cars wonder why don't you bike geeks just go to low travelled roads, or better yet some kind of cycling drome where you can hamster it up there and impress each other with your pride spandex?

The biker nerds respond with weird boolean logic and wonder why they aren't patted on the back and praised.

The average 24 hour camper are like GFY biker...

So, did I get this thread right?

Studies show that cyclists and motorist break the law at similar rates. If cyclists were really regularly blowing through stops without looking there's be more fatalities as a consequence. There are very few.

As a motorcyclist, the importance of not out-driving my line of sight was drilled into me. There could be a driveway with someone pulling out, a mail truck, a fallen tree, a fallen rock, free range cattle, a broken down vehicle, a tractor or any other thing in the lane when I top that blind hill or blind curve.
