Our rural roads in most of N.C. have no room for cyclists. Just the way it is. Folks from the Midwest come down here and can’t believe how rough and narrow our roads are. It sure doesn’t stop the urbanite cyclists from riding out here. They are universally disliked.

Damn you ought to post more often. Exactly how I feel. Why do they do it. The roads around my place have a pretty good stream of water hauling trucks. Those guys must truly cuss the gay bike musketeers. I will say there are a few of them that are fast and make an effort to keep traffic flowing freely. But they are not all biathlon capable.

Wow! I couldn't agree more! Exactly how I feel.... In PA we pay a registration for our vehicles every year, which allows us to use the roads.... if these spandex wearing idiots want to use the road they should have to pay too! Fugg em.


I sure could go for some $2.50/gal gas and a mean tweet!

Triggered?

I didn't start the thread....

You have any videos of "white trash throwing trash at farmers, slow moving vehicles and geriatric drivers"?

Didn't think so....even white trash knows the difference between reality, people working and people just being dumbasses and not having any real excuse other than being dumbasses.

Not sure why they call it common sense when it is not common at all and politicians that make laws seem to possess less of it than anyone. In most places it is illegal to ride a bicycle on the sidewalk. Why? Because pedestrians, even running, travel slower than bicycles and are subject to being hit. In the same way bicycles travel slower than vehicles which are much heavier. As mentioned before, anything traveling slower than the speed of traffic is a hazard whether it is a tractor, an Amish buggy, an ATV, a cow or a horse. That creates a hazard. Now they want to limit semis to 65 mph when the speed limit is 75 mph. Sometimes you need to take responsibility for your own safety because the politicians creating these laws are only interested in who will donate to their re-election campaign.

I agree. 100%
Saw one get hit once. I don't wish that on anyone.
Poor truck driver never saw the biker. The biker popped like a watermelon. This is on a major 2 lane highway in our area. Maybe 18" of shoulder. Dang bicyclists stream down this highway like they own it. It's rolling hills so hard to see too far ahead. This road is the only way to access thousands of acres of ag land. They stare at you when you go by like you are the one with a choice to be there.

Especially heavy trucks.they drive the design specs and the cost.

Yeah I never put any thought into it other than "I wonder why those money grubbing pricks haven't done this yet?"

It just seemed like something a politician would be all over.

The truth is that we do pay for roads and at a level that is commensurate with the amount of wear we are responsible for.

Gas and use taxes do not cover the cost of building and maintaining highways. I posted a link earlier that shows how much of each state's use fees/fuel taxes cover. In total it's about 50%. Much of the other 50% comes from the general fund that my income taxes go to. County and local roads are funded heavily through property taxes and ad valorem taxes.

Paul,
I know you are tired of hearing it, and I am tired of saying it. Gas taxes pay for roads. General fund sources do not pay for roads. County and local roads are not paid from property taxes.

Cuz they are ass-holes.

Because they can. In Iowa a bicycle is considered a motor vehicle on a public street. I'm not telling you it's safe, I'm just saying they can. Consider it a farm tractor which does basically the same thing. Bicycle riders have rights too. This is one of them. They are also required to follow all traffic rules as well like stop signs and traffic lights. Just like a tractor.

kwg
No, bicycles are not just like farm tractors. Farmers are courteous and responsible, they ride the shoulder if there is one. Tractors are big, tall, contrasting colors to the road, make noise, have lights and a large reflector. Bicyclists are tiny, wear spandex that blends into the road, hunch over so they’re even smaller, have one reflector smaller than a fist. They have no business being on secondary highways where farmers have to go for livelihood and to feed us.

You need to turn in your CDL if you don't know that you are supposed to travel at a speed that gives you time to react to whatever may be around that blind bend or blind hill. It could have been a stalled car with kids in it. Instead of bitching, you should be thankful the cyclist was moving and saved you from being responsible for a crash.
