Default weird observation

has anyone noticed that whenever the tour de france is happening, that there are a ton more people on road bikes biking around on public streets? It pisses me off because they think they own the road and have nearly caused several accidents that I have been witness to.


eh :dunno:

It's like they all think they're lance armstrong or something...sometimes I feel like yelling

"GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY LANCE!"

i hate em, if they wanna bike they should do it on back county roads or n the mountains or somehting, not on a ****ing main road where lines of cars are going slow behind you cause everyones gotta wait for traffic to pass to get by em. wish i had a big stick or spear i could hang oujt the road and get into their spokes

Where I live, there's always cyclist riding right along highway 101, I don't mind it, but sometimes they double up and take part of my lane :rant:



I sometimes just want to nudge one of them with my car as I pass h:

I hate when I actually get to drive and they ruin it for me.
But downshifting, hitting 6k in 2nd, and scaring them is really funny.

Well in South San Jose/Blossom Hill, there are always a lot of bikes on the road. Its cool since they have bikes lanes for them to stay in. The riders also behave themselves so it works out well for everybody.

I feel for the guys tring to do hill climbs in saratoga

No, I only get the people from canada taking pictures of roadkill in their toyota previa and hitting me with their tripod in stores.
