Most are like that and definitely usually out where I ride, I don't run into anything....

. However, there's always a few that are... The other day the bf & I were cycling up a steep hill, no shoulder and basically a tall hedge right on the side of the road (it was somewhere up on 97)... a car passed me, gave me plenty of room... then decided to swerve towards him as someone shouted DANGER WILL ROBINSON out the window. He was a tad bit startled.


I've had cars swerve onto the shoulder towards me shouting stuff when biking up 15... it's a highway, the cars are going 70 mph+ and theyre going to swerve at cyclists???
