thats messed up.

the guy in green had an angel over his shoulder telling him to pull over.

off topic from this photo:

I do wonder why some byciclist here in RI act like they own the road?? they piss me off when they're to far in the lane or riding on roads that really arent rideable=safe for normal traffic. the racer types with tight little race suits.. wtf.. I love it when im on a backroad with my harley and a group of them is all in the f#$%^&*# lane. I have to get over on the other side of yellow to pass them safely...Ill come up on them slow - giving them the chance to pull the f$%^ over but no they usually dont...so I blow by em close, hard, and fast with a fist full of throttle how do you like my straight pipes a$$holes. GO FIND A BIKE PATH theres tons of em in the state.

I love tough guys who blow by me when I'm on my bike but refuse to stop to "discuss" it. They don't have to be on a bike path, they have every right to be on the road. I'm sure your decked out in your full leather (chaps also? and harley jacket ) when your laughing at their outfits. Do you cry when someone is driving too close to your bike?

That said every bike rider is suppose to be as right as practicable.

ha! that cracked me up "tough guys who blow by you" well what do you expect when yer goin to f-slow for the speed limit? why the f#$%^ would i want to stop and discuss it? you pissed me off.... what is there to discuss? get the f outta the way. your bike takes up 2 maybe 3 feet why do you have to be practically in the middle of the lanes?

Ha...yeah you have no clue buddy, I dont own any chaps or harley jackets. I own a harley wallet, a harley hat, and one harley t-shirt. I am assuming you are one of those guys riding in "tights" because I seem to have struck a nerve with the outfit talk. lmao.. thats just funny right there. ahahaha..

uh no i dont cry when people get to close to me...I get pissed when oblivious morons dont pay attention.

Yeah...whatever. im alset with internet drama. have a nice day. see you on the rode

This should be fun - Bikes don't have a speed limit - so your wrong there (again). So your the type of guy who tries to piss people off and runs away (real tough). Does your wallet have a chain? - cool, I wanted one of those in 4th grade. Yup, I wear "tights" but again, you'll laugh but not stop to discuss instead, you'll "blow" by them. Who said anything about crying - you seem to be the one with the anger issue.

Good luck on the road, hopefully, people will give you more courtesy on the road when your on your bike then you seem to give other people.

yeah ok, this is fun. bikes dont have a speed limit you're right. what I dont understand then is why not let you guys race down the breakdown lane in slow packs down the highway? They dont allow that.. but you're allowed to be in the middle of a lane on a 45mph road, it just seems to make no sense to me and thats where the aggrivation comes in.

if im pissed off = your bike race in my lane..yeah im gonna blow by you,..wtf why stop. are you gonna stop if i stop? no you're RACING! all this tough talk makes me laugh you dont know me...internet arguements are stupid. if you want to PM about this or hell meet me im sure we can work something out

no my wallet is not attached to a chain. its an everyday leather wallet..with a HD logo.

I already discussed the tights.. It doesnt really matter what I think though. Wear what you want..I just think you look queer.

you asked me "Do you cry when someone is driving too close to your bike?" and my response was "I get pissed when oblivious morons dont pay attention" see the previous posts.

I dont have an anger problem. I have a problem with racers in the road who arent riding practicable.

yeah good luck to you too. I wouldnt want to be the one out in the middle of a busy section of road with a pack of little bikes. It seems like a recipe for disaster. Please take your own advice and give the vehicles doing the speed limits in heavy traffic more courtousy and ride single file, maybe double wide at the most. What bothers me is the packs of 5-6wide who take up the whole lane. Ride practicable, and get the f%&* outta the way.

How often do you see riders 5-6 wide?

Reading this makes me never want to ride my bike on the road again. Or leave the house in any capacity, even. Are there really that many selfish, egotistical, "the-world-owes-me-something" people out there? The world is full of people, and sometimes you have to share with them. I'll call someone a douchebag with my windows up, just like the next person, but there's no way I'd risk endangering someone's life (or my already high insurance rate) to show them my displeasure. That's it; I'm becoming a hermit. Good thing they deliver groceries.

Its a bit smarter to just chock it up to a bunch of douches and give them a wide berth than one of these days catch a ULock in the face.

Because they do own the road, as do you.

Bicyclists in a group will often stack up in a peloton to save energy, and angle the group in a double line into the wind, rotating lead positions so everybody shares the burden.

Even with a lot of recreational riders this isn't any larger than a truck footprint wise, and I'd assume you know how to pass a slow moving truck?

Bike paths are unsuitable for serious cycling, this should be pretty obvious.

It's more than ironic that the one person here who delights in taking themselves airborne via motorcycle is so upset when a little extra care is required to navigate the road!

Back in the day I used to race and obviously trained a lot. I've had every insult and even a few beer bottles thrown at me. Nobody has stopped yet, although it has happened.

I have seen an angry motorist get in front of a group and slam on their brakes. Little did they know that bikes can stop much faster than cars, and those little pointy bike shoes are rock hard and can kick a clean hold in your rear quarter panel

Now I"m usually by myself or have my son in tow. The bike trailer with the big orange flag is like a giant GET THE %$%$%$%$ AWAY billboard for men and a magnet for the babes
