This is for those non motored bikes. I really have nothing against bikers but I really become irritated when I hear......"we have rights to the road just as everyone else does".......
My issue is that if indeed "they" have the same rights then keep up the speed so I am not going 20 mph under the speed limit with people on my tail and ticked off. Going slow in a vehicle can be more detrimental than going faster than the posted speed at times. I understand you bikers can't quite go the speed limit unless your hyped on droids or recently pounded down a monster drink but at least find a less traveled road or something. Maybe just the roads I travel, that would work.
Another beef is blowing stop signs, what the hell is that? Put your little feet down and stop like the rest of us, remember "we have rights to the road just as everyone else does!" What is I hit you because you failed to stop? Will the Earth Angels be after me?
One last and I will sign off, there is no carpool lane for bikers so wait your turn at lights just like the rest of us. Just because your little bike can squeeze by, it scares the shit out of me and I am afraid you will clip my mirror. Remember....."we have the rights to the road just as everyone else does."
Oh yeah, nice pink spandex, beep beep. :) and are people's heads really shaped like a tadpole (I cleaned it up), at least some of those helmets look like it.

It drives me crazy, too. Especially since I went to college at the University of California, Davis, where everyone ride bicycles and we actually had to follow the same rules as cars. There were bike cops in Davis who would ticket us if we were speeding on our bikes or running a red light or stop sign or breaking any other rules of the road. We even had to buy bike licenses (stickers we put on our bikes) that had to be renewed annually! Now where I live now, the cyclists are just crazy. --Val
