I think this is pretty common all over the land, but MOTORCYCLES DON'T SLOW DOWN CARS, and that may account for the rage against bicycles. Duh-Oh! |

In that case, the solution is obvious. You guys need to get engines. Yup. Major difference between bicycles and motorcycles is that one runs on muscle and the other on brains. |

The point is that never, ever a car should be pick up on a cyclist or motorcyclist without the risk of being tried for terrorism. It happened to me where the guy wanted to play vigilante to enforce a "walk your bike on sidewalk" on a bridge whose sidewalk is barely wide enough to walk. It's only 2 1/2 ' wide while he enjoyed two lanes all to himself. He blasted the horn to scare me away, and I gave him the finger. Bad move where the big fish felt the need to do justice. Better strategy for me is NEVER to go where the terrorists feel the right to kill, and stay away from the jungle. |

You expect motorists to obey the rules, yet pick and choose which ones you want to obey. As long as a cyclist isn't impeding the flow of traffic, there is no problem. The problem is when some lycra clad tour de france wannabe abuses his 'right' to be on the road by not keeping out of the traffic flow.....figuring his right is more important than the hundreds of motorists who get the trickle down stop start ripple. If I see a cyclists on the open road I will treat them as a car if there is no oncoming traffic and move over the centreline. If there is oncoming traffic and the group stay at the legal but inconsiderate two abrest, I will move as wide as the oncoming vehicle allows me (Often the oncoming cars will pull right over to make room, why can't cyclists in a group show the same consideration?). If it hugs the centreline, so will I and the cyclists get a wind blast. |

I think the survival strategy of a cyclist requires more brain. You worry about the cars hitting you from behind, while on a motorcycle you just worry about not rear-ending some driver talking on the phone. Prove of that is that many motorcyclists drink and drive. I did anyway. It doesn't get any more stupid than that. |

I propose here that those killed in the line of duty riding a bicycle,
get condecorated with a Bicycle Medal of Honor, and get full pension for their family. Of course, the latter is more important. |

Guess that proves Vito's point. |
