Uh, fast bicyclists go 30 mph.

Maybe in the Tour de France. On the roads here they go 10MPH with several in a knot that is very difficult to get around, and then when you finally get around them if you get a red light before you have a chance to get far enough away from them, they all run by you on the right, run the light and the red and form up to block you again.

Sharing the road with cyclists can be a pain in the behind.

Unfortunately true... and as a cyclist who rides alone, avoids roads with no shoulder to ride on, and in general tries to be as little an obstacle to faster traffic as I can, these boobs piss ME off too. They’re the selfish dolts who ruin it for everyone.

Much faster in the Tour. Sprints can top 40mph and downhill sections can approach 70.
