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...

I did not defend their actions. I said I wouldn't do it. At the same time, I framed the encounter with perspective. If you are a Republican, you are the first one I have ever seen use the word whataboutism. They (libs) loathe when people paint a situation with a little perspective. When it's convenient to their team, they demand things be viewed in a vacuum.

The way I see it is if non-bike riders don't tolerate bike-riders, there isn't a strong argument for non-hunters tolerating hunters. So I tend to think unless bike-riders are deliberately disruptive, let 'em be.

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.


This is just too much!

Paul, you seem like a smart man. I often enjoy your devil's advocate positioning.
Can we all admit that a large percentage of bicyclists are entitled dicks?
Also, can we all agree that no one wants to see a grown man in a full spandex outfit?
Thirdly, can we agree that any grown man who wears full spandex in the name of aerodynamics is a raging homosexual?
I think there are some things that just can't be logically disputed.

A lot of men don't like long-hairs or earings etc on a male, thinking they look girly, but they tolerate it. Bike riders wear the clothing for aerodynamics and so they can be seen by car drivers etc, just like hunters might wear camo for ... camouflage.

For bikers, rainbow spandex is considered camouflage, you blend right in.

Yeah that's a leap.
Riding around for an hour in a pack on Sunday morning and then meeting up at the local coffee house for a meet and greet with the other twinkies requires superior aerodynamics?
Thats as stupid as the guy walking around BassPro in head to toe camo picking out his new Yeti can cooler.

I frequently see hunters at airports wearing their camo, fly fisherman wearing their fly fishing gear on a flight to Alaska etc, BJJ wrestlers wearing their uniform on the way to and from their training. Who cares whether you wear whatever clothing is suitable for the activity you do, outside of that activity, on the way to or from home? If it is convenient to do so, why not? I think we are moving away from the idea that you don't wear a specific style of clothing for a specific activity just because some people might think it's gay. If you are not gay, you shouldn't need to worry that some people might think that you are gay just because of the sport specific clothing that you wear.

What is it with a bunch of triggered bitter boomers from Stumpfugk Montana that they cannot handle the 3 or 4 bicyclists they encounter every year. I thought y'all bare knuckle brawled grizzly bears and schidt up there. All I can figure is that it's some kind of latent homosexual thing.

The bicyclist threads complaining about encounters seem to be started primarily by bicyclists. The throwing of purses - seems to be from a bicycle, not from a car....

I think there are some things that just can't be logically disputed.

Alright, I'll level with you brother. I am not really very smart at all. For example I hope that when I post six different links showing how bicyclist contribute to building and maintaining roads, I expect that to sink in at some point. That is just damn dumb on my part.

I rarely associate with cyclists. In my limited interactions with them, the biggest dicks seem to riders in my demographic. They never seem to be happy. It's like they ride with a chip on their shoulder. I was passing a guy my age who was riding a bamboo bike. As I got beside him, I commented that it looked like art in motion. NOTHING. No reaction whatsoever. No smile, no thank you, nothing. Damn man, I am happy when I am riding, even when my lungs are hanging out in exhaustion.

A few pages back a video showed a group ride with a schidt ton of riders. I don't like that. If that was a very short stretch on a weekend morning I could tolerate it, but I wouldn't like it. More than a minute or two, it's time to break things up and spread things out, or be willing to pull over. I used to ride with the Gulf Coast Bicycle Club when I lived in MS. Great guys and gals. When we did weekend group rides, we did them on lightly traveled rural backroads and we worked cars around us as quickly as we could. Our groups were seldom more than 10 or so. EVERY single one of those riders gave a damn about motorists.

I'll say this too. I have a bunch of passtimes. Boating, kayaking, motorcycling, fishing, hunting and bicycling. The nerdiest group by far are bicyclists. The most nauseatingly liberal are the motorcyclists. The grumpiest, most perpetually butthurt...never mind, I was on a good roll.

Spandex shorts. I wear them. I have no idea why but that pad in them makes worlds of difference in comfort. If I ride 20 miles without them, I'll have bruises over my sit bones. No amount of padding in a seat can change that, but that damn thin layer of padding does. I can't explain it. The material keeps the nuggets in place to, and that matters. I don't give a cock and balls about aerodynamics.

I agree that no man wants to see me in spandex, and frankly (pun intended) I find a measure of comfort in that. Women on the other hand...

I just took a quick 20 mile ride. I passed down Central Ave in Old Jefferson on the way out. 30 minutes later I came back the same way, and this massive oak limb had fallen across the road. Yeah, I know, too bad about the timing. But this, boys and girls, is why you don't outdrive your line of sight in blind curves and blind hills. If this was on the other side of that blind curve, it'd damn sure get your attention.

Report says Louisiana second most dangerous state for cyclists

[Linked Image from bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com]Two bicycles lay on the side of La. 66 in West Feliciana Parish after a fatal crash causing the death of Baton Rouge Metro Councilman Buddy Amoroso. Amoroso and Thomas Clement were struck by a Chevrolet Tahoe while riding. Advocate staff photo

Louisiana has again been dubbed one of the most dangerous states in the nation to ride a bicycle, sparking debate on just why a seemingly innocent exercise seems to carry inordinate risks.

Last week, an analysis by The Wall Street Journal concluded that the state is No. 2 nationally in bicyclist deaths, behind only Florida.

The same review said New Orleans is the sixth most dangerous of 50 metro areas when it comes to bike riding.

The grim review is not the first of its kind.

In 2015, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention said Louisiana had the the third highest rate of bicyclist deaths in the nation, behind Florida and Delaware.

When you look at how long and straight that road is, it makes you wonder what kind of retread couldn't see cyclists there. That road is very lightly traveled with very good sight lines. No excuse other than stupidity. Well that and a full size Chevyy/GMC pickup or SUV. You add that to middle aged, out of shape, poorly educated, white male, and it's a recipe for disaster.
