I ride both kinds of those two wheeled things and those fools annoy me too.

Need an extra pane in there for those straight pipey throttle blippers who then look around to see who's checking them out. I like to keep a stack of 2ft rebar behind the seat to chuck into their front spokes as soon as they reach cruise.

As for the cyclists crying, "I have a right to be here!" - Shut up! Just get in the ditch!

AMEN! I've done my best riding in ditches, culverts, sidwalks and on Jersey barriers.

In defense of cyclists, they DO have a right to the road, just as much as those with vehicles do. Whether you like it or not.

I have many miles ridden on a bicycle in my time. More than some with vehicles have.

That said, many cyclists should ride to the side of the road when they should be or could be off to one side of the lane. It is illegal for them to ride on a sidewalk. FYI.

Respect should go both ways.

None of that beats the walkers who walk down the middle of the road when there are perfectly good sidewalks available on both sides of the street. 🙄🤬

Back to reality...you can be right, you can also be dead right.

That's the cyclists choice. It's your choice as a driver to respect the law, and give courtesy to said cyclists.

I side with the cyclists and tend not to have an elitist attitude toward "rights" to the road.

I agree with what you are saying Tom - I try to give cyclists as much room as I can. That said, it seems that many cyclists go out of their way to be obnoxious - riding in the middle of the traffic lane when there is ample shoulder for them to ride on, riding 3-4 abreast instead of single file, etc. When I lived in MT, there was a group of 200 or so cyclists that called themselves "critical mass". They organized during rush hour and block ALL lanes of traffic across the bridges - Talk about pissing people off...

Yeah, those cyclists make me mad as well and give cyclists a bad rap. That's why I mentioned that respect has to go both ways. They interpret the law to where they can block traffic whenever and however they like.

I guess they never heard of letting cars pass, if there are more than 6 cars that is being held up. Tractors in farm country usually are aware enough and courteous enough to do this, there is no reason why cyclists can't either.

I understand and empathize with both sides. The only solution is to have bike lanes but that involves money and the government. Money usually isn't an issue, it's the latter that is.

No matter whether you drive a vehicle or ride a bike, we are all human and we should treat each other as such.

Taughannock Falls, Ithaca, NY -- 15 years apart. Quite a bit more water in 2023.

The reason people in farm land and the county are so nice to each other is because most of them have gun racks in there trucks...and they are full. It's easy to be nice when the other guy is packing!

Uh. No.

Yes. In my high school there was at any time a dozen trucks and cars full of rifles and shotguns on any given day. Just the way it was.

Same here, never a problem.

As a kid even in middle school, a knife in your pocket, and holstered on your belt was a tool...likely your first was handed down from father/grandfather or a birthday gift from one of them.

We bought our son his first swiss army knife when he turned 10. He's out in the fields and forest near our house all the time. I got one when I was about 10 too. Still have it.
