Too bad for them. Nobody died. And I'll bet they were riding tandem when the doc cut them off. Selfish jerks.
Cutting other traffic off gratuitously like this is at the least a moving violation in any locale. This medico has a history of this, however, which is why the hammer came down.
Boy, I dunno. I used to ride when I was young. That’s enough for me to empathize. Of course, I only occasionally encounter cyclists en masse. It does seem that one is required to go more slowly for a few moments, or even minutes. But to me it is an occasion for contemplation.
I am by no means immune from the impulses that lead to “road rage”. My daily commute is just a few miles and lasts a few minutes, but that doesn’t stop me from fuming over being held up by a slowpoke. I do, however, hear a still small voice that says, “Stop being an a**hole.”
Nice job with that pesky 10%, btw!
You might want to look into the law most states allow that riding tandem if you are keeping up a certain speed. It isn’t us being jerks it is people like you thinking you own the road.
