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.

Cool, you mention a path and I assume you're Lance Armstrong LARPing. That doesn't address my question.

Now you're in your truck on a county road, somewhere in town, whatever - dealers choice. Oncoming traffic spaced in intervals that make passing unsafe for YOU. How long are you good with going 7mph while these 3 play grab ass in the road on skates?

My town has a large bike community and they seem to think that they own the road and show very little consideration for vehicles and the often inability to safely pass large groups of cyclist. I've bought at least five bikes from local shops and spent thousands of dollars in the process so I'm not anti-bike, I'm just don't have much patience for self-righteous folks who show very little regard for others.
I've told this story here before, a guy down in Taylor MI was driving his pickup, made a turn at a light that supposedly cut off a biker. The biker gets off of his bike, walks up to the driver's side window and punches the driver in the face twice through the open window. The driver (a former marine) fires two rounds from his .45 striking the biker in the chest. Biker left two young kids fatherless, surprisingly the democrap Wayne County prosecutor didn't charge the truck driver.
This is exactly what would happen if somebody kept making a habit of just trying to be the tough guy and walk up to a trust they didn't like something that happened.

I don't have a firm answer for you. I am a big Golden Rule kind of guy. I'd expect them to do what I do and work me around them as soon as they reasonably can. If they insisted on being discourteous, I am a Golden Rule kind of guy! It's worth mentioning that what you are describing is far removed from the OP video.

Yeah you get behind something like that you're moving industrial equipment large excavators dozers and such heavy large wide. Or better yet in a farm tractor with duals and a wide implement behind you just can't simply pass them. Too bad they don't have restrictions of no bicycles on roads with a speed limit of higher than 25 or 30 mph. Better yet not on the road at all go to one of them bicycle trails get the f*** off the road

Are you going to lie and tell me that you don't break the law damn near every time you drive or are you going to be honest and admit that you do?

Scheit, I break the law all the time. I just don't piss off and endanger all the other motorists when I do it.

With that said, the driver was stuck behind them going half the speed limit for two and a half minutes. That must have been traumatizing. I am sure this sort of thing happens to our members on a regular basis.

Today some texting or otherwise oblivious dimwit will get off the line too slow at a traffic light and get me caught by another light cycle. I'll be stopped there not moving at all for two minutes. Of course, that never happens to any of you.

What I always love is cycist riding thru the ranch on the county road opening day of deer season. And they have to continue thru other ranches to get to their destination.

Now, they are safe riding thru our place. Ain’t nobody gonna shoot em by accident or on purpose on our ranch. Just look at em and shake my head. Because I know who is out on our ranch and their hunting ethics and safety level is high. They know where the public roads are and where neighbors live. YOU DONT SHOOT THAT DIRECTION!!!

But, I haven’t a clue what kind of moron might be hunting some of the other places around the area anymore. As a cyclist I would be a bit concerned for my safety plowing down such a road just because I could! Like no phuqing sense at all!!!

I'll have to remember not to wear my deer head helmet when I ride down the public roads near a drunk ranchers house.

But you defend the actions of groups like this. Can't get yourself to say," Yeah. Those guys are dicks."

The vid cut off after 2.5 minutes, didn't show how long he was stuck behind him. Also don't know if anyone was behind the auto and for how long.

Try following something like that while they climb a thousand foot hill at 4 mph. I have to regularly in the summer. "Oh, how inconvenienced were you...". Jesus.

Those guys are selfish inconsiderate [bleep]. Admit it.

Also seem to have a good grip on whataboutism, though.

What a piece of work...

Your safe Paulie, least on our place. Only folks getting shot on our spread are them what need shootin’! 🤣

LOL. Reminds me of old rancher I knew years ago out on the Pecos! (Ed too many letters! If you’re reading this, Kat knew him too. Least she knew his kids). We were always on the ranch next door to him. He told us outright “Do NOT cross the fence on come on his property! End of story! If a wounded deer jumps the fence, just go shoot another one! And if you see a bear, anywhere. Shoot it! Drag it off in the cedars and keep your mouth shut!" LOL! I can see his still setting in the chair in his living room telling us that! Old feller was tough as nails.

Still attacking the messenger and ignoring the message I see.


Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.
