I always yell out very loudly "You're on the wrong side" when this happens. Last summer it happened when I was on a very large group ride on Cape Cod. Not the best place to ride, but we were in a residential area. It scared me to death.

I was on a small backroad that is a short little circle, but it's one way. There is a fast blind turn that I always stay close to one side because you never know what someone is gonna be stupid - I saw a car once pull out of driveway and start heading the wrong way - I yelled to them, but they didn't speak English. The worst case though was the day I was zipping around the loop and a huge group of cyclists were coming the wrong way. I made sure they knew they were going the wrong way![]()
For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.
So Pepe,
it's not a big deal, no one was hurt, right? But you probably understand why they were all screaming, and I'll bet you'll think twice before you do it again.
Bikes that crash head on can result in major injuries, but it really scares me to think about what will happen if they crash at the same time a car is passing- somebody might well wind up falling right into the path of that car.![]()

I understand that it can be dangerous and I do admit that it wasn't the best decision to go the wrong way. Normally I do bike the correct way but I don't know why I didn't this time. I guess laziness got the best of me. hahahaha.
