A run-in with a cyclist

    Next time a cyclist knocks on your window and bitches about you passing him, let him go ahead of you and then run him over.

    Was wondering when that was going to come up.
    Other than someone stealing the Toyota logo off the front of my car, no problems with this one.

    I got to the "three abreast" part of the story and wandered off to look at JLaw's bewbs again.

    Sorry, where were we?

    As I said, it's safer for cyclists and the drivers to do it that way.

    And on some of our charity rides, when the peloton tops 200, there's really no other option.

    OMG. Fap fap fap. Two canyons to tittyfuck. Only decision is to aim for the left or right eye.

    What's wrong with the grille?

    Thread-jacking from the triple boob ...

    New California law requires drivers to leave three feet of space around a cyclist. I can tell you there are many places where this is flat impossible -- you can't drive your car safely. And this writer focuses on the part of the bill that still prevents passing on a double yellow to get around cyclists, who are common on two-lane back roads. If you get stuck on an uphill behind three cyclists who feel like they don't want to move over, I guess you're just going to have to go 5 mph until you get to a dotted line again.

    There are roads, especially where I live in Colorado where the cyclist is entitled to all of the lane. Doesn't mean we use the entire lane or go three abreast. Maybe it was one of those cases?

    And I'm an avid cyclist. However, there are some out there that come off as elitist snobs and ruin it for everyone else. I'll ride two abreast with my friend but when there is a car back, we go to single file and let the car(s) past. Thankfully I live in an area where I seldom see vehicles in my routes and the main roads all have bike lanes or rec paths.
