Quote HistoryQuoted: In free states this one's not a rule. In Idaho, for instance, cyclists can treat stop signs as yield signs, and stop lights as stop signs. When you explain that to Karens they flip out about bikes "darting around randomly" because they hate freedom and have no concept of responsible decision making. That's when I like to remind them we also have constitutional carry. The Idaho stop. Cagers don't get it. |

I wait until I can pass them safely, get in the other lane to give them plenty of room, and look in my rear view to make sure they're all upright after I pass them.
Cyclists really get on my nerves and they have no business on the roads, imo. That being said, I don't want to be in front of a judge with a vehicular manslaughter charge because I thought it would be funny to fuck with a spandex wearing fruit on a bicycle. |

On one of my rides I had a semi avoid passing me until he was clear to move into the opposing lane of traffic even though I was in a bike lane. He didn't have to do that but I really appreciated that. Made me realize most car, truck and big rig drivers are considerate. I really appreciated what he did. I do my best to return the consideration. Most cyclist are the same way. None of us want to be run over by a 4000lb+ steel ball. |

Can you even walk from your trailer to you truck? And FYI, I don't own a bike, I can wear the cycle clothes. Some of the rides I see around here need to learn road etiquette, most know how to ride on a street. OP, WTF is etigette? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: ... I find is curious that a group, like us, who are constantly correcting "the left" about the accuracy and facts regarding guns/2A issues refuses to see the facts regarding the laws when it comes to other things (like in this case--bicycles on the road). They have every right to be there as we do (as a driver) whether we like it or not. Why on earth would I want to "buzz them with my mirror" just because I am a little inconvenienced with them. My father was an avid cyclist and I have a few friends that ride a lot (how many of us are over weight and don't exercise BTW..me included). All of us making spandex jokes is as judgmental as the "Left" making jokes about gun owners and how we are all just hill-billies, peppers, and crazies thinking the sky is falling. Just my take. We as a group are not any more or less logical or reasoning as any other group. We make a decision on our feelz, then find the reasons or laws that support that after. |

Bicyclists can be dickheads, 100%, but if you're following the rules and trying your damndest to stay out of the way and do your thing, I'm cool with it.
I've never seen another person/object that makes so many men-children so irrationally angry. I road bike, but I either do it on back country roads that aren't super well traveled, or I use dedicated bike / running trails because I don't feel like dealing with the bullshit. I find it crazy that I have to carry my Glock 43 in a little phone storage case on the top frame of my bike, but pants on head retarded dickhead vehicle driver stories I hear make it a prudent choice. |

I never really have issues with bikes on the road.
Hains point in DC for those that don’t know is the Tour de France every weekend and they block both lanes all day in groups of 100, (no it’s not a real race it’s just weekend warriors being doushy) I get in the left lane in the park sound the train horn and when finally asserting the move or RIP warning I blanket the right lane in coal. Oh well. Im a very considerate driver and tend to only get hot headed in flagrantly retarded people situations . |

We used to live in a rural part of our county where once a month the "cities" would HAUL their bikes out to the single lane "safe" country road and make our lives hell for the entire day. They turned what was a ten minute drive to town into an hour long frustrating experience. MANY violent encounters occurred. OUR police would come out and block off intersections to accommodate the bikers at OUR expense to disrupt our Saturdays. It was insane. I truly hate bikers that travel on country roads. They aren't made for passing and bikers riding 2-3 abreast are effective a closed road. May they all be hit by Karens driving EVs while the cops block the ambulance coming to help because the bikers need to ride.

Laws of the road are the same for both blah blah blah.....
You know what other laws are the same for both? PHYSICS! Conduct yourselfs accordingly. If you you can’t respect laws that have no jury, no judge, no payout, no room for compassionate interpretation; then I guess playing in the road just hasn’t caught up with you yet. The white line is the hard wall for “keeps up with traffic / doesn’t keep up with traffic”. Don’t play in traffic. ETA: this isn’t limited to just bikes. Those 50cc scooters and E scooters are just as likely to get pizza’d , maybe more so, since they have the ill conceived notion that they’re somehow “part” of traffic. I about center plowed a E scooter several nights ago running 10(?) in a 40 with shitty ChingChong tail lights on a dead battery. The 2500 would’ve crushed him, and the trailer axles would’ve rolled the dough. |

It should be like a freeway with a minimum speed for safety. If they can't go the minimum speed, it's not safe, no matter the vehicle. Having a vehicle going 70 closing in on any other vehicle going 20 is a bad plan.
