The good weather brought out all kinds of stupidity.
Twice today on a short ride, I almost got run off the
road by somebody traveling the opposite direction
on my half of the road trying to pass a cyclist on a
downhill grade.

The bicyclist, because he wants to go fast downhill
starts riding toward the center of the road. The motorcyclist
and/or sports car behind him looses patience and
swings into the uphill half of the road to get past.

All of this on a blind curve of course. Be very ready
for this kind of idiocy now that the warm weather's
here.

I hate this too..I really love the ones that ride 2 abreast. The
phrase "Die in a fire." comes to mind.


"Share the road, man" And they say motorcyclists are the crazy ones?

I didn't much appreciate the guy on a Triumph
trying to get past a bicyclist on my side of the
road either.

Basically spring brings out the clueless twits
piloting all forms of two and four wheel
vehicles.
