>>Just the other day, had 3 bicyclists in front of me, all abreast in a 35 mph zone, aware I was behind them and refused to go single file.<<
I’m an avid cyclist and have a position on this. I have been part of such a group in the past, however, it was always when there were no cars. When we saw a car coming up behind us (someone would yell “car back”) we would revert to single file. Sometimes we would miss the car and they would come up and honk. We would get into single file as quick as we could.
Guys that just don’t move really need to be bumped from behind by your car bumper. Just a nice nudge. But make sure you brake immediately after you nudge them just in case they go down. You just want to scare the hell out of them, not actually run them over.
Install train horns on your vehicle.
Approach from behind, lay on the horns.
What you are suggesting is criminally negligent. Please reconsider.
>bumped
I wouldn’t have the guts to do that in MA.
I’d get hosed.
Come a little too close for (their) comfort, sure.
