These bikers will run your car right off the road here in Colorado. They have more right of way than the cars. I’ve even seen them on I25! Of course, they’ll flip you the bird, if you get too close to them, but you have to risk accidents to swerve into other lanes to avoid them!

I can verify that. They're really bad in Golden right around the Coors Brewery. The state spent millions putting bike paths in lovely locations all over the areas here -and all over the brewery- so more bikes would get off the streets. Yet these people STILL insist on riding alongside the winding 32nd Ave. This is a two lane road with NO shoulder, and nowhere to move off in case something happens. Trees on one side, mountain on the other, 18-wheelers rolling in every direction to and from the brewery.

Needless to say, there's a lot of crosses and memorials along that road. The latest is from a guy killed in April of this year.

See, the problem is that sometimes they just don’t put a bike lane from your house to your place of employment so you have to ride on the streets. Other times, there is no lane to the grocery store, or the beer store, or.....
