I recently had a group of about 8 cyclists, proceed to run a stop sign across a State Highway with a 55 mph speed limit.

I had to test the anti-locks on my F-250 SuperDuty 4X4 to keep from hitting the first one, the others stopped, but then thought they would keep me stopped while they proceeded. One almast ran into the side of me as I went on.

I can’t say I recall an Indiana law that gives cyclist absolute right of way on the roads.

I tell bike riders this.You pay for registation for you bike,insurance, yearly inspections and You can share the road with me. The average car/truck owner pays thru the nose for substandard roads{ I live in PA] and sneeky policemen who set up speed traps at 7 am . When the cyclists get ticketed for blowing redlights and stopsigns, then I will feel pity.
Other than that, stay to the side and let me thru or I will flick a cigar ash at you or hit my sprayers with you behind me.

After a similiar discussion on here a few months ago regarding the “rights” of cyclists, I happened to be driving home through a neighborhood with a stop sign about every 100 yards - as I slowed and stopped at each sign, two bikers just breezed through each one.... I would pass them and keep going, only to stop again and they would pass me again..... I so wanted to find a cop. Sure, they obey traffic rules...
