I hate people that ride in groups of 20 on road bikes, sure it is a gas saver to ride bicycles, but 5 wide in the middle of the road?

o-well, I saw this and Felt sorry for the people because it was a race, but in the middle of a freeway?....

This happen either this week, or last week.

a little on the graphic side but does not show any thing.

Did you know that the driver was drunk, and fell asleep at the wheel?
Kind of an important part to leave out... lol.

Gee and I hate it when big trucks are on the hi-way, they should outlaw that as well. :rolleyes:


There are just a bunch of inconsiderate pricks driving on the roadway, I hope your not one of them. And yes I speak from experience; I feel I am fortunate to have only been hit by a car once while on a bike. I run literally thousands of miles each year on the road and I have witnessed some very close calls because people are not paying attention or just don’t care.

do you ride in front of cars when there is a 50mph speed limit and you are only going 23mph? I like biking to, I think it is fun to hawl ass down some trail and hit jumps and over clearing them 10 feet...

If it's an organized even like a race then you bet I would.


I'm not saying that bikers should be "5 wide in the middle of the road" on a normal training ride. Even when riding or running single file lots of people don't leave room, even just sliding over a little in their lane would be something but you would be surprised how many people don't do that.

I rarely bike because of cars, I have had to jump a curb to keep from getting hit by morons while I was running, I can't do that on a bike.

I have rode in the middle of the road only to get pulled over for 10mph over the speed limit.lol, I barly ride on the street, I mainly go sidewalk riding and little j-walk here and there but I hate it here! oregon is full democratic idoits who ride in the middle of the road on purpose, my mom got flipped off because she got tired of waiting behind several bikers so she sped past them and one of them has the balls to flip off my mother. idk it just gets annoying after a while.

What is funny is that people know the danger, and that the bike lanes where put there on purpose to make people slow down, or make driving hard because people hate cars becasue they some how "destroy enviroment".

1."Mow down a crowd of bikers, AND still be able to slice right through a tomato; the all new Ginzu Merc!"

2."Not your father's hit-and-run-mobile!"

3."Don't drink and drive, you might spill your drink!"

4."Smokey the Bear says: Only you can stamp out bicyclists"

5."Mom, have you ever woke up with that 'not-so-sure-I-remember-plowing-through-a-crowd-of-bicyclists' feeling in the morning?"

6."Buy any case of Coors, and we will throw in a new roll of 'Crime Scene Tape', free of charge!"

7."You can now mow over anything with the All-New " Speeding Mercury Edition" John Deere Lawn Tractor!"

8.
Two cases of really cheap beer: $50
Worn out Mercury Grand Marquis 4-door: $500
Legal fees not covered by the court-appointed lawyer: $5,000

Wondering what kind of 'OH SHET' look you had on your face when you woke up in your speeding car, right at the point you hit the bicyclists: priceless
