Quote:I have no trouble sharing the road with cyclists and have had no problem with them. However I've seen them hogging a lane and holding up traffic just for the pure arrogance of it. Would it kill them to go single file and allow traffic to pass? OTOH, I've encountered a few car driving idiots when pedaling myself. It goes both ways.

It does go both ways. Idiots are everywhere. (I think there is one behind my keyboard, not sure) I drive like a grandpa. I've had my fair share of tickets and such, so now I drive very carefully. When I'm driving around being careful and I have issues with these cyclists, I for one feel it's more the cyclists than me. Regardless of who the idiot is, it's just not safe. If I'm driving and pass a cyclists, I usually I get in the other lane to do so. That is not always possible. If, as I pass, the cyclist hits a rock or whatever and swerves into my path and I kill him, then i stand a great chance of going to prison. He's dead, I'm in prison, lose-lose. Just because the guy wants to ride his bike in traffic. His fault? My fault? It's an accident. Not really any ones fault except the law's for allowing it to happen. Yet, two lives would be ruined. I'll never be convinced it's a good idea. Too many people are dying over it. If you are a cyclists just be careful and be safe about it. I Like reading your posts.
