HAY GUYS

There is nothing that pisses me off more than road bikers riding in places they shouldn't be. I frequently drive children around in my semi-rural area, and I am constantly having to move into the left lane to avoid road bikers, endangering the lives of everyone in the car and the biker, not to mention the car I could potentially hit. I wouldn't even mind if it was in a location where I could see further down the road, but here there are turns constantly and you can't see what's around the corner. I'm not willing to jeopardize my life so these guys can ride their fucking bicycles. If they're riding their bikes for transportation, I understand. If there is a bike lane, that's fine. But if you're riding your bike for recreation on roads with no space and endangering everyone around you, you're fucking stupid and I hate you.

Does anyone else feel like this, or is it just me? When I tell people these I tend to get looks that seem to say I'm blowing this out or proportion.

Up on the coast of Maine, people do this ALL THE FUCKING TIME. Tiny, winding roads where there's hardly any room for two cars to travel in each direction at the same time.

Yet here are these moronic bikers, taking up a good 1/3 of the lane.

I guess they're entitled to ride their bikes and all, but goddamn

How ya doing, buddy?

Either way, when I'm up in the local roads, people who walk way to close to the middle of the road really piss me off. Yes, you're walking, but that's what the fucking sidewalk is for, get the fuck on it.

O GOD thats the worst. There's a SIDEWALK and they're NOT USING IT. What the hell is THAT about.

I mean, I can understand. You want to take a stroll down a busy, high-traffic road with a friend or something. Walk on the sidewalk, bitches. You won't get dead that way.

(The other day, we were driving up Route 1 out of Boston and we saw that the highway actually had a SIDEWALK. I could not even get over that. Who the hell would walk on Route 1 in Revere.)

There's nowhere I can't reach.
