Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Is Bicycling just for leftist, liberal, dems?

You got me Flave. I really do have good luck with everything but cyclists. lololol

A fun way to approach cyclists riding 50mph slower than prevailing traffic is to pass them safely, then slowdown with your warning lights on, and make them pass you.
Then repeat as necessary, all while chortling at point blank range.

"Mainly to piss off people on the internet'

It appears a whole lot of us on the Fire actually did have a clue.

A Q-tard with a clue. How cute. You are bringing the funny this evening.

Deflect. Just dont try it on a bike.

Bicycle threads are never not funny.

Well done wusstern Jupiner! Oops, slappy hamster!!

Sheesh!!!

Although they do clog things up, my post wasn’t about that. It was about the guilt and liability assigned to a motorist if the worst case scenario happens. I try my damndest to avoid them, but there are times it’s a close run thing. My point is in my area there are literally thousands of miles of road someone can go pedal on and do there thing. The ones that choose to do it in a damned dangerous venue are disrespectful and arrogant as hell.

Say's the guy that can't go 2 posts without calling someone names... no one knew you were only here for the trolling, really...

What is the longest you have ever been held up by a bicyclist?

How could a worse case scenario happen to you or yours, if you/yours and the cyclists were operating safely and legally?

Can you give me an example of a close run you have had? As a driver, I have only had 2 somewhat close calls in my life and in both cases the cyclists were operating illegally. One was riding on the wrong side of the road, and the other was on the sidewalk.

That's a lie.

Pipe down and let the grown-ups talk.

You know it's a lie.

Give it a rest.

Rt 2 east -west along the Hi Line across Montana, it’s part of the Northern Tier Trans-America bicycle route (or whatever the name is). I rode part of it from Havre over towards Jim’s place.

A major transportation artery in that part of the world, heavy vehicle traffic, semis, farm machinery. Absolutely horrible bicycle road for long stretches; bad pavement, no shoulder. I’m recalling just two lanes in places. Crossing bridges over streams and low spots was even worse, metal crash barriers over these spots actually force you into the lane.

I’ve ridden highways rather a lot, this was among the worst I’ve seen. I’m surprised it weren’t littered with dead cyclists.

That’s one of the safest stretches of it.

Anybody doing that should be charged. Their and your behavior is nothing short of criminal.

MDTs website shows traffic counts for Montana highways.

From random samples average traffic counts on US HWY 2 east of Glasgow are 50-100 vehicles per hour. 10-15 large trucks per hour.

Random street view samples show road design similar to this.



That road design is fine with me, as there is plenty of room to the right of the rumble strips. While traffic isn't heavy by my standards, there would be constant road noise that takes away from the peace I seek when I ride.

It’s of no consequence to you or BirdFugker because you are dumb and self absorbed people.

Paul, if more bicyclists rode the way you do, maybe there wouldn’t be as much friction between drivers and people on bikes.

Unfortunately, while bike riders have a legal right to share a road with a vehicle. Their ignorance, lack of awareness, and attitude that it’s someone else’s responsibility to keep them safe has put a lot of cyclists on the pavement, or worse, turned them into a stain on the ground.

Being dead right, ain’t much of a win.
