Last summer I was tailgated by a cyclist on a 25 m/h road. He was inches from my bumper.
When we came to the stop sign, leading to a 30m/h road, I was indicating my intention to turn left, when he flew around the right side of my car, ran the stop sign, and turned left ahead of me.
If a car had been coming, (I was in an evil SUV, and he couldn’t see past me), he would have been reduced to a pile of bones on the road.
When I passed him, a minute later, I told him he was crazy, both for following me so closely, and also for running the stop sign. I also asked him if he had a death wish. He laughed.
When I arrived at the next light, I saw why he had been travelling so fast.....he was trying to catch up to his spandex clad bike club buddies.
These buddies, then started to berate me for “acting like I owned the road”.
So, I have little respect for these clowns. The day I see them paying taxes for the use of the road, and riding responsibly, I might change my mind.
...that’s why I am not a spandex homo...
