no kiddin about fools day for a ride!!!
lets see... went for a short 20+ mile ride. 5 miles or so is on a road marked with bike path lane.
several idiots were weaving their bike on the bike path. going the wrong way. They could see that I was going the right way. I ended up slamming my brake and locked up my rear wheel. I figured the idots would stop weaving when they got near me. NADA!! Only one guy in the group smirked and said, "Oh, sorry"
second set of idots riding on a bike lane big enough to drive a semi. 4 or 5 people riding abreast. At least they were going the right way. And they are riding really slow. I was still doing around 32Km/hr and yelled plenty loud, "On your left!" So they did the sensible thing and all moved to the left. I ended up swerving into the car lane. Luckily their weren't any cars.
Third set of idots, people were ready to jay walk across the street, not in the cross walk but right across anyway. They look right, they look left, I think they saw me coming pretty fast. Some hesitation, and now I'm really close. Then they all decided it was a good time to cross and stepped off the curve.
Locked up my wheels again.
Maybe I should have completely given up cycling.
yes its April fools but do they really have to be fools? GRRRR!!!!
