is it just me, or do these guys pick the most dangerous roads to do this on? i was going down this road by my buddies house. and it has a ton of crazy sharp turns, the speed limit is 45, so of course i was going 50 or so.....so i came up on this sharp ass turn that go's up a hill then go's almost straight down and to the right, i know this road very well so i was taking it around 45, when bam there was one of these colorful creatures wearing rainbow spandex shorts and a matching shirt going 5 miles an hour, i had to slam my brakes, the car behind me almost hit me..and then wait 5 min before i could pass, then he give me the fucking finger just because i did pass him, what the fuck?

Do like I do...carry roofing nails...get up the road a ways, then disperse...circle back and throw skunk piss lure on them when they're changing a flat....works for me...don't forget to put mud on your license plates...<wink>

I used to do alot of cycling, and some of the best roads for training are the more dangerous ones. Hills and big drops are the most fun, so I used to go out of my way to ride them. Nothing is more boring then long straight flats.

Don't let the cyclists freak you out. They usually are pretty good at obeying traffic laws (at least I was). In your case it sounds like you did the right thing. If the guy was holding the lane, then you should slow down, and wait for a good opportunity to pass, which you did. So I don't know why he gave you the finger. Maybe slamming on your brakes scared him.

Ranger, I never could understand why people like fucking with cyclists so much. I guess its cause they feel safe in their cars, knowing the cyclist won't be able to catch up to them.

Upon commuting to university every day, i come across several cyclists dangerously and annoyingly impeding my path. Rather than simply pass them and be on my merry way, i choose to do the following.... I pass them to where i'm about 2 car lengths ahead, then proceed to simultaneously open the passenger door and slam on the brakes. a little tip though, the faster they are going, the better!!
