Mayberry has their Otis Campbell, our town has this nut job. I wonder how many other places have aggressive bicyclists like this who seem to take special delight in finding the most crowded roads during the most crowded times of day to drift in and out of traffic.

I've seen winos pilot their way through traffic better than this guy does. The fact that he hasn't ended up roadkill is a strong testament to his luck, the courtesy of our local drivers or both.

I have mixed feelings. :{)

[from occupied ga]

He's no different than most bicyclists.

[Uncle Miltie]

That’s nothing.

I saw a guy on a 12 foot tall bike (!) riding it down a four lane highway in the middle of the lane ... going the wrong way.

Truly.

I've seen plenty of arrogance, but this jag-off takes it to a whole new level. That's why he will be cooling his heels in the local pokey until next week, at least.

But LOVED your cartoon.

“He’s no different than most bicyclists.”

Some for sure are really stupid or have a death wish. Riding on the side of 55 MPH highway during morning rush hour(s) is insane; saw it yesterday. It was a hey look at me type in full Tour De France gear.

Like one of these:

Where? I didn’t even know they made 12’ bikes.

Puyallup, WA on River Road.

[Buckeye McFrog]

A fine, upstanding citizen.

(*compared to Lance Armstrong)

If you want to freak out a bicyclist, goose them on the ass as you pass them on your motorcycle.

[sparklite2]

Look at those cars. Cuba is a collector’s dream.

[Leaning Right]

this jag-off takes it to a whole new level

I'm guessing you've spent some time in Pittsburgh.

[Red Badger]

LOL!

He who has the biggest vehicle has the right of way....................

[Red Badger]

[tacticalogic]

Bet there’s no front brake on that thing.

[Rufii]

Those Cuban cars have an advantage in that no Internet hacker can ever take them over.

We’re about 40 miles SE of the ‘burgh.

We cyclists (yes, I am one) are our own worst enemy.

I hate riding in traffic and avoid it as much as possible. However, last Sunday, while riding up a hill with heavy bike traffic, some guy in a truck pelted me with a ball of tin-foil. Not cool. No harm...kind of funny now, but I wasn’t feeling the humor in the moment.
