I'm starting to see shit like this in my nape of the way. I'm convinced cyclists are rageaholics in spandex.

1 out of 10 people are just totally stupid, pick a group

It's a little higher in the Lance Armstrong wannabe demographics

Yep... Assholes are everywhere...I just try not to be one.

You're way late to the party on this one. Fuckers actively block the road in my neck of the woods. Bizarre dysfunction.

^This. For some reason it's much harder than it sounds for some people.

Yup, really bad on Snohomish Valley Road. A winding, narrow two lane road with no shoulder and lots of blind spots (bank on one side and ditch/cliff on other). Cyclists will ride 4 abreast with no intention of moving to single file to let cars pass.

There's some group ride around here on Wednesday nights where apparently all traffic laws are suspended. There's a 4 way stop intersection that you better hope the cyclists have already gone through or you'll be waiting for a long time. No stopping at all, and the entire mile long pack just blows right on through, one after another after another. I'm surprised some one hasn't gotten tired of sitting at the stop sign and just hit the gas.

Tour's that way assholes.

Couple of handfuls of carpet tacks?....

i'm not condoning the lady's actions above, and I will give you that cyclists have serious assholes in their midst, but, for those of you who haven't spent 1000's of miles on a bike in a year, maybe you should try it...cyclists have their lives threatened in many ways on the regular and in the most seemingly minor ways to drivers

if you ride regularly, odds are that you will be in an accident that is not your fault, and, for those of you who ride in NYC, those odds are exceptionally high

On group rides, the group is supposed to act as one vehicle. First guy through the intersection same as the last guy through. And let's put some reality on the time you need to wait. I'm sure you're exaggerating that the pack is a mile long. But even if it is and the group is going 15 mph (which is kinda slow for a group ride), the most you're gonna wait is 4 mins. 4 mins out of your life. Some traffic lights are longer.

Not only that, but you don't realize how loud a car horn is from inside the car.

If there's no shoulder, then you probably can't go by a single cyclist, give them three feet, and not leave your lane. I will frequently ride farther out in the lane to discourage cars from trying to squeeze by when there is a blind corner or oncoming traffic. I don't see how it makes a difference if they are 2,3 or 4 across all in the lane, you're going to have to cross over the center line to go by safely no matter what.
