Soapgirl was observant.... Some of em do push the press to test button on the spandex stretch factors...... Some are so tight you know why they have roid rage or a sore toe....:o)

I rode schwinn continentals an varsity bikes in the 60’s an 70’s across the USA an where stationed overseas. A few hundred thousand miles over my lifetime as a bike was cheap transportation for a GI with a family to support.

I never ever ever pulled the crap I see so called cyclists doing then as I see today. Some fill the slang description of “organ donors” well. My so called “right of way” never exceeded my common sense an value of life.

Just silly crap I see to much of these days. We policed ourselves then. They need to do such now or someone will ....intentionally or accidentally.

Oh hey! There you are! :-) Good points. We ride bikes around the area too... but we're not perpetuating this stupid assed neon-spandex fashion sub-culture. Also... being plugged into the law enforcement community, we understand that we're owed nothing more than what the highway code here affords us.... which means we're NOT going to get into a spitting match with a cop about it, NOR are we going to argue on the spot with 2000 lbs of vehicle... no matter WHAT.

... on the way to the beach with SP... it's a real bitch typing... I'm a passenger. :-) ... navigating! :-)
