My solution: When the passing truck got even with my rear bumper, I knocked off the cruise and slowed to 60 mph. Left lane guy passed me in ten seconds and got ahead of me in the right lane. Left lane clear for cars. And I lost 15 seconds of driving time. Gee, do that 8 times a day, and I have lost 2 minutes. Heartbreaking.

About half the truck drivers would be polite in the right lane, like I was, and the other half were a**holes. Or else just stupid hard to tell.

I wondered why those drivers that are in the right lane wouldn't lift off for a few seconds. Hell, if someone is slow passing me when I am driving an auto, I'll lift off.

So it appears the libatard, democrap, bicycle riding asshats at Google try to hide the stupid bike riders getting creamed in traffic videos.

Gotta watch them on YouTube and prove your old enough.





The really funny stuff is bicyclist vs bicyclist, who'd ever thought that'd be a dangerous combination?

Yes the oxygen is thin there at 12,000 feet. Fortunately, I had 1,000 miles of "training" before I got to the Rockies.
Here I am crossing the Mississippi into Missouri. As you can see I stayed on the back, back roads. God knows I wasn't gonna try that I-40 bridge at Memphis.

LOL, you've got that exactly backwards. Captain Paul chums with the best of 'em, and then trolls right through the middle of the slick.

I wouldn't say I troll, because I am always willing to have a conversation with a willing member. I certainly don't capitulate, and I will sometimes do unto others as they do unto me. As you can see some are much better at dishing it out than taking it. They can't seem to figure out how I can have a completely civil, exchange of ideas with some members, but not them. It must be me, lol.

That is friggin cool. When I go out to CO in the summer, it takes a while to find my lungs. Even then I can't do hard sprints. When I come back, I feel like I am supercharged for a few days.

I wouldn't say I troll........

LOL, that's right, your "Family Rituals" thread a while back was really serious stuff.

Traffic brings no joy, could well ultimately prove fatal or crippling.

But crossing the continent on a bicycle? I’ve driven across on four wheels multiple times, which doesn’t compare with doing it on a motorcycle (I’ve been over most of the Lower 48 on motorcycles). Both of these pale in comparison to getting it done on a bicycle 😎

Strangely enough traversing parts of North America on a bicycle makes this place seem smaller, and you becoming intimately familiar with the landforms and the parts you rode.

Only had coal dumped on me once, along the Upper Missouri in Montana. I shot the guy the bird of course, now I’d just ignore it. Anyone who does that and just drives off is a pu$$y.

I drive about 30,000 miles a year, here to the Canadian border, here to Missouri, wherever. A lot of my driving is on two lane, rural roads but also in town here… I can only recall once in the last several years that I was held up a bit by cyclists. There was a large organized group on the two lane going to the gun club. Probably cost me five minutes.

I think there are some people on here who must lead miserable, unhappy lives. If they get so cranked up over something as innocuous as bicyclists how do they handle the kind of real problems many of us face daily? What can it be like for their wives (if they’re still married) having some having some whining complainer around all the time?

Of course, these threads also always bring out the Walter Mitty, Rambo in their own minds, badasses…always amusing…

How long were you hung up behind them?

They could barely pull their own weight up that small hill.

Train?…..No F’N Way!
