[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had one in our community recently. Also windy, hilly, curvy roads - a very, very dangerous location in which to mix bikes and vehicles. The cyclists had the bald faced gall to call it a fundraising ride for a terrible disease.  It's a calculated maneuver to legitimize the fact that they want to have a nice bike ride in a beautiful location and they don't give a rat's ass for the inconvenience they create for the locals. At best. In fact, I rounded a curve once to find an 18-wheeler barreling towards me ON MY LANE. Why was an 18-wheeler traveling in the wrong lane? Because the driver rounded a curve, encountered two idiots riding abreast of each other, and in an effort to avoid striking them, the driver quickly moved over to the wrong lane. I was forced to drive my car into a deep ditch to avoid a head-on crash with an 18-wheeler. Do you think the cyclists stopped and offered help? The same cyclists to earnestly state they're riding for a charity to end cancer? Not a chance.

It's time to call their bluff. [/quote]

Did you have cancer? This wasn’t a road safety charity or MADD. [/quote]

Also, where is the ire to the 18 wheeler driver, who should not be barreling around corners and passing in incorrect lanes. It is their job to drive to road conditions and not make risky moves. You should have gotten his company information. Charity ride roads are marked, so he was not paying attention to the possible hazards. [/quote]
