I don't care, the consequence of choosing a poor road. Choose wrong and the danger goes up exponentially. But I'm sure they were right, but they are still just as dead. Perhaps that should go on their tombstone, "I had the right to the full lane"[/quote]

These folks lived in those places.  They did not have a better road to ride on.  And none of the roads made accidents inevitable, the drivers did.

But you don't care. Because you are a douche. Well I don't care what you think when your state raises its gas tax, or installs speed cameras, or increases fines for reckless driving. [/quote]

OP here.  Interesting excuse (living there) for riding on an unsafe road.  I live on an unsafe road, and when we first moved here, I tried riding on it a few times.  Then I stopped when I saw how dangerous it was.  I started taking my bike on my car to other locations to ride.  It is really inconvenient, but I would take the inconvenience over risking my life.  On my road, I HAVE to "take the road" in order to ride.  Consequently, drivers behind me must wait until I turn off to pass, or risk passing into oncoming traffic on a curvy country road.  If you are a cyclist and you live on one of these roads and ride on it, there is only one word to describe you.  IDIOT.[/quote]
