As someone who has ridden and driven on that road countless times, anyone wanting to do harm to cyclists would not drop nails at the summit, but rather further down the hill at one of the countless hairpins. If this was intentional, it was a warning. Further, as someone who has commuted by bicycle for a few years and by car most of my life, it is the a-holes on 2-wheels that annoy me the most, not because there are not a-holes in cars, but because a few jerks make ALL cyclists look bad. Follow the damn rules and be respectful. Where cars need to ‘make room’ for cyclists, cyclists should really ride the middle of the lane at the same speed as motor vehicles, or choose another route. Stick to roads with bike lanes or wide shoulders, unclip at stop signs, yield right-of-way to cars when required to do so, and for crying out loud, don’t do stupid stuff like ride against traffic in a bike lane or (even worse) on the sidewalk. I almost flattened a cyclist a few months ago that was riding the wrong direction in a bike lane across an overpass and through a blind merge... freakin’ death wish, and he had the gall to flip me the bird for holding my arms up in a ‘what the hell’ gesture. Drivers just chill and know that there are cyclists that “get it” and don’t presume to have the right of way under all circumstances.
Pray America wakes
Can’t forgot about riding line abreast blocking the lane as they cycle down the road, daring people to pass.
