[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 1174159, member: 198"] How does everyone deal with those annoying cyclists?? You know..... those spandex clad, slow moving people on the bicycles. Many of them are cool and follow the rules that cyclists are required to follow but there are so many that don't. When I am working in one particular area of town there is a part of the route that is a favorite for cyclists. According to our state laws they have to ride close to the edge of the roads when they are travelling less than the normal speed of other vehicles and impeding traffic and cannot ride more than two abreast. Not to mention must follow all traffic laws that motor vehicles do with a few minor exceptions. So, why are many ignoring these laws and just continuing to trot along WAY under the speed limit and therefor IMPEDING the flow of traffic? And some even scream and cuss at the drivers of vehicles when they remind them of the rules and some just scream for a driver passing them well over the 3 ft limit. I've bit my tongue instead of saying anything a few times and not so much at other times. Is this a problem anywhere else? [/QUOTE]
