Rode dirt and street.
Single file to be polite most times.
Didnt matter.


Wide open other lane and no traffic, cars still throw stuff or see how close they can be to the bikes when passing.

One trick they like to do is pass close, try to make the cyclist veer to hit a parked car ahead.

Worked with a lady that was nice, older......and she said when she sees a bike or motorcycle, she just gets the urge to run then over. Serious

People are fugged up.

Was doing about 25 in a 30 mph zone and my bud ahead who is a littel faster starts yelling. Im on a MTB so head down crankin.

Guess some biatch was inches off my back tire.

Road wide open, passable.....in town. We were single file and to the outside edge too.

Had Oregon plates.

When little old ladies want to run you over, you might just be doing something wrong.

Got a fair number of poor folks on bikes on town.
They ignore traffic laws. Wear dark clothes, no lights and ride at night too.

Typically, a guy on a good bike follows the rules

Until youve ridden on the road a bit you might not understand how it is out there.

We have bike shops and clubs so the hobby is well.known here. Got bike lanes on quite a few streets now.

JD Byrider puts a lot of fuggin retards behind the wheel.
Add in illegals and drunks and folsk that are just GD stupid......I wouldnt ride a bike or motorcycle these days on the road.

Cell phone mofos are everywhere. Hell they crash into everything.

At least a wheel chair doesnt require a foot on the ground when not in gear.




Is this any more stupid than riding a bike on the highway? Why the prejudice against the crippled?

We seem to have a lot more traffic today than when I started riding again. Town is spreading out and more subdivisions have gone in to North of us.

I primarily ride for fitness reasons. I enjoy riding outdoors and will continue to do it, but after trying out a trainer with one of the available riding apps I can see myself riding indoors a lot more. In the last 3 weeks the weather has been crappy enough that I've already ridden almost 400 miles on the trainer.

For some reason it's easier to push myself on the trainer while online and in the app. I think it's mostly because I can see the other riders on the course and if I'm gaining on them or they are gaining on me. Being a competitive sort of person I like that aspect. Being a major league introvert I also like not having to talk to them.

Damn skinny dudes wreck me going up the hills on there.

Wife showed me a video of some dude in a wheelchair towing a small boat through town. That was a WTF moment.

Haha. Good one.

I wonder if it would be legal for an electric bike to do that.

I was surprised it was able to tow it, I didn't realize electric wheelchairs had that much torque. I'm guessing it was a 12-14 foot long with a 10-20 horse outboard.

Wife and I were coming home from dinner recently, driving up our street we came a upon an older couple (70ish...) and their snowcow granddaughter riding bikes on the road. Grandma was as far right as possible (about where I normally ride), grandpa was on her left by a couple of feet trailing grandma slightly. Snowcow on the other hand was to the left of the centerline of the road riding parallel to grandma. Grandpa must have heard me coming, he slows down and pulls inline behind grandma. Snowcow stands her ground, maintains her position preventing me from driving around the group. After following them for a few hundred feet I pull up closer behind the 'cow, giver her a minute to react. She's still flipping her lips like a whiperwill's a$$ in a wind storm, doesn't appear that she intends to move. So I say fúckit, lay on the horn. Her reaction was priceless. She jumps off her seat like she's been ejected off the bike, then turns her head around with that wtf look on her face. 😁😅😅🤣🤣🤣

Used to ride to nearby towns. Stayed the hell off the 2 and 4 lane highways.

Can plot a route on decent pavement tbat reduces the chance of a splat.

Scanner daily has cars blasting cars, broad daylight, on the major roads around here. Seems to be mostly old people and young people.

An guessing the young ones on tbe damn phone.

I was in town at the tire shop waiting for tires to be mounted. I sat outside on a bench watching traffic go by. Probably a 1/3 of them had the nose in their phone. You see it at stoplights too, as soon as they stop they're staring at the phone.

As motorists we'd all be better off if their aim was true and they'd thrown bricks rather than trash.
