Bike people are the worst

What speed is rolling?

 

Why?

Those are a great safety measure to alert drivers you're there. I run a daytime strobe out front and a taillight strobe off the back every time I'm riding.

 

On my way to work, in the opposite direction, on about 25% of the mornings I will see a single biker riding on a 50mph road, single lane with traffic coming fairly heavy in both directions, and about 15-20 cars lined up behind this single biker. Who knows how long they have been behind him, but it’s not 20-30 seconds.

I have no idea how much he is adding to their commute, but he doesn’t give a shit. This is not sharing. This is being an asshole.

And, please, don’t give the combine comparison because a combine is not in the road as much as this biker.

 

You're to treat it as a Yield sign.

27-51-1803. Entering stop or yield intersection. 18 (a)(1) A person operating a bicycle approaching a stop sign shall: 19 (A) Slow down; 20 (B) If required to avoid an immediate hazard, stop at the 21 stop sign before entering the intersection; and 22 (C) Cautiously enter the intersection and yield the right23 of-way to pedestrians lawfully within an adjacent crosswalk and to other 24 traffic lawfully using the intersection. 25 (2) If a person operating a bicycle meets the requirements 26 provided in subdivision (a)(1) of this section, he or she may cautiously make 27 a right or left turn, or proceed through the intersection without stopping at 28 the stop sign

 

So if I’m stopped and it’s my turn, you stop, or you slow down enough to let me take my turn.

Thanks

So 1/4 of the mornings you see a cyclist with cars behind him and you admit you have "no idea how much" he is slowing the motorists, but you're absolutely sure he's an asshole?

 

As I said, super angry.

 

And bikers are so sure we are “super angry” with you.

I look at inconsiderate bikers like I look at people who bring 30 items to the express lane at the super market. They just don’t give a shit about other people.

As I posted earlier in the thread, there are tons of roads to bike on; don’t choose the ones that are made for fast driving.

 

I grant your Michigan Left, and raise you a Jersey left.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Jughandle!

This amounts to "stay off the road."

Sure.

But in which instance am I more likely to wind up dead because you're in a hurry?
