I am an avid biker, and do share the road, but I have to agree that the elistist *******s like this **** me off, espcecially when they violate traffic laws.

on the road I work on we CONSTANTLY have bikers taking up too much space. Once I had to follow ONE dude for a couple miles through the twisties...fortunately he went faster than some cars I've had to follow. I was impressed.


we have the cal giant race team up here all the time too. For the most part those guys stay one or two wide at the most. Not bad. We do mad work for gal giant so I always watch out for them..ahaaaa.

funny, im cool with bikers in SF, but in the MTNs they suck. I wouldnt be suprised if i hit one.

The roads they choose are so stupid, one is full of blind corners and french broom overgrowth, doing the speed limit is 35...thats enough to hurt someone...i yell at them and say "you picked the wrong road...youre gonna die someday" not that im mad, but i dont want to be charged for manslaughter or kill anyone.

thats a great video! there are always bikers on my road. Heaven forbid they should have to move over to let a car go by, and if they do have to, they'll be sure to flip you off. I have no problem with the ones that know "share the road" goes both ways though

because it's totally youre fault if theres someone going 5-10 mph around a blind corner in the middle of the lane. I've actually gone off on them before when I was walking, and there were three cars trying to get by 3 or 4 bikers on a single lane road and the bikers didn't even seem to care (when I'm walking and hear a car I actually stop, step off the road, and make sure my dog is right at my feet with no slack on the leash)

And how about the critical mass bs where people just trying to get to/from work are held up by a bunch of selfish fools on bikes. Reason enough for Hellas.
