Wrong, from what I understand most roads was paved when the automobile first came around.

He was on a Harley and it had stalled. Redundancy alert!

Many times I have come on a cyclist on the white line, and a long line of oncoming traffic. There is no way I feel comfortable passing or even being close to the cyclist when there is gravel and other debris on the road edge. Way too easy for the cyclist to be bumped my way at the wrong moment and I am in prison for manslaughter or worse because I did not give sufficient clearance.
Plus, it is hard to tell the good from the goofy from behind them. Several times I have started to pass when the biker looks over his left shoulder to see what I am doing and surges an additional foot or 3 into my space.
It is usually impossible to safely pass a biker without slowing down.

If most roads were paved when the "first" automobile came around, then it was when few people owned automobiles and many people owned bicycles.
I should correct myself on my previous post. I didn't mean "paved". I meant to use your own term: "made".
Most roads were made for either horses, or in the case of large cities, bikes.

My Dodge RAM carries 5 million ft-lbs of energy at decent speed. By my math, a 4800lb truck would have to be going 177mph to carry 5 million ft-lbs of energy. Decent speed indeed.

Not to offend any cyclists here, but folks who dress up like they're racing in the Tour de France - nearly every cyclist I see these days - when they're just taking a leisurely ride around town look absolutely ridiculous (to be kind about it).

By my math, a 4800lb truck would have to be going 177mph to carry 5 million ft-lbs of energy. Decent speed indeed. It's closer to 6000 lbs actually

So in actuality he only drives around at somewhere near 158 mph.
