Reply #41: Around here, the groups of bicyclists do dangerous things [View All]

That not only put them at risk, it pisses off drivers who might then take it out on other bicyclists.

Once group of twenty bicyclists deliberately blocked cars from passing them in a legal passing zone by filling BOTH lanes of traffic whenever a car tried to pass. I was the second car in a line of cars forced to stay behind this gaggle of asshole bicyclists for at least five miles.

If I drive my tractor down a rural highway, as a slow moving vehicle, I am required to pull over where possible to allow other traffic to move at normal highway speeds. Bicyclists should do this every so often - it would reduce road rage.

Most bicyclists in this area are very good drivers and obey the rules of the road. Those obnoxious few, such as the group I mentioned above, give them all a bad name.
