Aaawww someone's triggered by a cyclist.

Poor thing. Do you have to actually put forth the MASSIVE effort of pushing the brake pedal and/or turning a steering wheel?

Must be tough being so helpless that you can't manage to press a pedal and turn a steering wheel.

I stay out of a train's way, cause I know that it could crush me like a tin can. I think cyclists should treat cars and trucks the same way.... instead, it's like they feel entitled to force vehicles to go 10-30mph BELOW the speed limit. How would you like to have to stay behind groups of pedestrians walking, and go at their pace for several miles? I guarantee you wear spandex, and bag your own shit.🖕

You sound vaccinated and a road cyclist.
 
If I need to to make sure someone isn't passing unsafely? Yes.

Your 'hurry' doesn't trump my life

I lived in Northern France for a few years, and the first day was there, friends picked me up in their car to go into the country to look at a rental house. In the quiet countryside just outside of Cherbourg we came upon a traffic slowdown and commotion and while stopped along side said commotion, it took a few seconds but I almost lost breakfast when I realized what I was looking at on the roadside was a guy(?) twisted up with his bicycle, looked like a big chunk of mangled meat and broken bones with guts and purple tubing sticking out of it. To this day I don't know how many cars or trucks ran over and rolled/drug that mess down the highway but it changed my whole outlook about riding on a road with motor vehicles even at 45ish mph speeds. The Frenchies I was with didn't act the least bit surprised, said it was cycling season and it happened all the time. I didn't say much at the time, but was thinking, "So there is a season on them here?"

You value the right of way more than your life. Brilliant.

Not the first time I've heard the passing safely excuse. Another popular one is, "I run redlights and stop signs because it's safer than stopping and taking longer to cross the intersection." "I don't use the bike trails because pedestrians slow me down." Oh, the irony.
 
I was driving down a similar canyon last summer in a semi. A 50mph blind curve with no shoulder (the kind where a semi is going to use most if not all of it's lane). The cyclist gave me the finger because he didn't like how close I got to him to avoid killing some campers going the opposite direction. He's lucky I had the luxury of just crowding him. I almost had to make a split second decision he wouldn't have liked.

Entire family > cyclist
He wouldn't have liked it, you wouldn't have liked it. Considering his legal right to use the road. You would have been at fault for running him over.

You sound like trucktard. Part of your lane being obstructed does not give you the right away in the other lane. The corner being to tight to take at current speed means you need to slow fuck the down, and not use all the lanes.

Stop being logical. The cagers can't stand that.

A bicycle/cyclist is considered a vehicle. You can't pass till its safe. Period. ...and yes, if I see that there's an unsafe spot coming, I'll move left till I'm darn near on the DY till I can see its safe to pass. I've had people trying to pass at crests of hills or into blind corners when I don't, only for them to realize that 'OMG there's a car coming!' as they're in the other lane. Thankfully, I haven't seen anyone have a head-on because of their stupidity, but there's time yet in life.

...and no. I'M not 'causing it.' I don't have control over the cagers' steering wheels or pedals. THEY'RE the ones making the bad decision to drive stupidly.

Do us all a favor and pull your heads outta your asses and think about the potential problems passing someone on a bicycle could cause. I doubt the cops will let you off from causing a head-on crash 'because there was a cyclist 'in my way.''

But none of y'all will and we'll have to put up with the stupidity again, and again, and...
