Paulie B - if you encounter a herd of phaggots rollerblading 3 wide in a no passing zone with steady on coming traffic how long would you say they get before they are asswholes?

We have a blacktopped trail 50 feet off the road for bikes and walkers and they still ride in the road. When asked why I was told it was a pain in the ass going around the slow walkers. You can’t make this stuff up

You can’t make this stuff up Seriously I think most people just like to gripe about stuff. My pet gripes are Slow movers or aisle blockers when shopping. Rap music loud enough to feel. Those A-holes that bebop through the crosswalk at the speed of a sloth. Anybody looking at their phone when driving. Any retard with a pro Democrat sticker. When I go to town I always feel some nostalgia for the days when I was riding around in a HMMWV with a M2 up top and 2 M240's on swing arms.

I should run a dump truck at 10MPH through there. That'd be fun! Mr Hot Shoes would probably get the message quick.

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

You actually have No Clue do you. Yeah, that's the problem; he doesn't see an issue having traffic slowed down and a dozen cars behind him. Everyone else is the problem, hence the thread. I have never had a dozen cars behind me. Anytime any car approaches from the rear I am looking for ways to work them around me. I take a very cooperative approach to riding on the road. I doubt anyone has ever been behind me for more than 30 seconds. All of us have been hung up by an inconsiderate motorist for longer than that. Hell, I'll get held up more by other cars today than I have held up motorists over the whole of my bicycle riding life.

Bicyclists always like to argue and play their games until they are reminded of simple math. Bicycles<≠motor vehicles. When one gets drilled they all stay off the roads until they forget the equation and go out and find out again.
I don't care if I liked riding a bicycle so much that I rode around with a woody the whole time, It is not worth my life to ride on busy highways much less get an attitude about it. Simple math comes into play in civil lawsuits too.

Paulie B - if you encounter a herd of phaggots rollerblading 3 wide in a no passing zone with steady on coming traffic how long would you say they get before they are asswholes? Great question. I'd first assess why they might be three wide. There may be a reason for it. Then I'd do what I always do when pedestrians, cyclists, roller bladers doing that Apollo Onho back and forth thing, people with dogs on leashes etc. are spread across the path. I'd slow as I approached them, announce my presence, tell them that I am easing around their left, pass with minimal speed disparity and exchange pleasantries with them as I passed. I don't think that brush passing them at a comparatively high rate of speed and throwing schidt at them is the right thing to do.

Hell, I'll get held up more by other cars today than I have held up motorists over the whole of my bicycle riding life. I don't normally bike on the road because I'm afraid to, reading this thread doesn't help. I get that a rider needs to be very careful about moving to the right to let cars pass since many of them will crowd past without consideration as to how close their car or their mirror may be to the rider, It's better to have them move left to make a conscious pass. There are a percentage of roadies that make a point of riding siding by side and claiming a whole lane "because it's their right" that really piss people off and cause some of this hate. I remember following bicycles on buisy park roads where I couldn't pass in the oncoming lane, that wouldn't even move over to let me pass on my motorcycle, dicks.

Where I ride is well away from town. With the long sight lines it isn't too bad as a place to ride. I've had a couple of close passes and one guy who turned into his driveway right after hurrying to pass me. I don't know if he was being a dick or just misjudged my speed, but I almost slammed into the side of him. I had a pretty good tailwind that day so was moving right along.
The Live Car Free crowd are by far the worst of the cyclist types, judging off what they write on the bike forum. Those people are nuts.
As an aside have you tried Rouvy or Zwift? I've been using Rouvy for the last 3 weeks and it makes indoor cycling for fitness a whole lot more interesting.
