There is one in every crowd....SMH....I've learned a long time ago that you can't really find a middle ground with people like our buddy Riverbed. We will just have to agree to disagree.
Cyclist for over 31 years...
Mountain and Road...ridden all over the country. Doing BRAG this year (did it in 96 and 2000)... RAAM Crew member....used to be an endurance MTB and Adventure Racing guy.

Am considering a fat tire mountain bike for south Georgia off road. I've been pricing out Diamondback El Oso Gordo and Kawasaki Sumo. Hadn't bought a bike for myself in more than 40 years.
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 roadway as practicable.."....the cyclist does. There are road hazards, glass, dead animals, pot holes that often require us to ride farther out....the whole "Avoiding hazards to safe cycling"...is what gives us the right to be there....
Should cyclists take up the whole lane? No.... Should an impatient asshole pass us on a blind turn or hill? No...
It is this mentality of yours that really strikes me as callous: "if that is your choice, don't expect a MV to cross the centerline to provide your 3 feet."
I doubt a cyclist would hold you up a total of 15-20 seconds...and that is enough for you to push someone off the road which LEGALLY, puts you at risk....sorry to hold you up a whole 15 seconds....whereever you are going must be really important...If you can't wait 15 - 30 seconds to find a safe place to pass then it says more about you, than it does the cyclist..

heck yes. Guns for bikes!
I just got into riding and am looking for a nice road bike to trade for. I put some road like tires on y mountain bike and try to ride every day from 5-15 miles a day. I have been diagnosed with mTBI and sever CRPS (Nerve damage). I am not able to run so I got into biking as that is how I get my cardio. I am still active duty right now and drop retirement on 1 Sept 2016. It is hard for me to keep up with folks that have been doing the biking thing for a while.
I'm on the southside and I ride a trek x-caliber 9 and a muni ( mountain unicycle) that's right a unicycle on MTB trails.
