  3. Any Bicyclists in the house? Road? Mountain? Hybrid?

    I live on both sides of this issue daily. What most lack is perspective on both sides of the vehicle...I hold BOTH sides accountable bc I'm a member of BOTH sides. Until you are the cyclist going into the ditch I'm not sure that is a call someone should make. The ditch can be very hospitable...

    @RiverBend Let me offer you another perspective from the cyclist point of view that could be viewed as common sense by us. I've been a cyclist for 33 years and ridding 10s of thousands of miles....used to own a bike shop and have spent a LOT of time on the road. With that said I would like...

  8. Any Bicyclists in the house? Road? Mountain? Hybrid?

    When passing cyclists that are "taking up the whole road"....let me give you the part of my personal thought process....and give you maybe another way of looking at it from OUR (cyclist) side.... I have been riding on the road for over 30 years. I am a husband, a father, and a business owner...

    If I couldn't wheelie or jump I'm not sure I would know how to ride a bike!! Out on the road holding up guys like @RiverBend Smoked after a hard 34mile Snake Creek Gap TT! @RiverBend --- The difference is that YOU, the motorist DO NOT determine what is "near to the right side of the...
