is is that bad out there?

I think you should get a big pointy stick and attach it to your bike so it sticks out and scratches his car.

Kinda like the chariot race in Ben Hur...

I find that most drivers in my area in Maryland are courteous and patient and definite rules followers--even if they don't necessarily like being stuck behind a cyclist, they aren't going to do anything stupid, illegal or dangerous to force the situation.

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???

I was thinking more along the lines of purple or red spray paint.......

DH thinks it should be legal to hit bad drivers with paintball guns. It WOULD make it easier to identify the jerks on the road by the amount of paint on their cars.

Ask bacarver if it's bad.

Just 40 miles from our house, she's been clipped at least twice and hospitalized once from a dog attack...
