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...

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.🖕
uh huh. False analogy Trains can't steer or slow down quickly.

Imagine a semi-truck driving around you like you say you do around cyclists. How do you think that would make *you* feel? Something that big threatening you on the highway? Yeah, you'd react like your life's in danger too.

I've BTDT behind pedestrians on the bike. I've BTDT behind a group ride in a car. Nothing changes: wait till its safe and pass carefully. I don't see the issue.

All y'all complaining about cyclists are like never Trumpers with your irrational hatred. Constantly amazes me.

I have witnessed Cyclists, bikers, truckers, and motorists all driving or riding like inconsiderate fags. Hell, I think I even saw a plane flying like fag once or twice. {not gay fags} Hate the fag, not the vehicle..:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Spoken just like every other entitled POS bicycle "rider" that only cares about themselves.
Let me guess, you don't want to ride on bike / multi use trails because having to stop for pedestrians and slow down would be so hard on you...

You can call your bicycle a "vehicle" when you have to pay road taxes on it, registration taxes on it, have a licence to ride it and get tickets for all your stupidity and blocking the roads.

Bicyclists are a great symbol of what is wrong with this country. The least productive, least useful, least important feeling empowered to block everyone else, take up everyone else's time and make everybody else have to work hard to accommodate their selfishness. Oh and if their own stupidity and selfishness causes an accident, they don't care, they feel entitled to be an ass because their virtue signalling is the most important thing in the world.
 
If bikes are vehicles with the same rights why do they pass on the right when cars are stopped in traffic?
I had one stop at my right rear fender because there wasn't enough room to go by on the right. He thought it was a good idea to hang onto the left rear corner of my bed rail until the light changed to green. A simple pop of the clutch dropped him on his ass.
If the same rules apply he hit my truck.

you don't think any of us own cars too? We're out NOT causing damage to the roads and still paying for our cars, homes, etc

Next stupid argument

'Entitled' huh? *Who* is the one whining about being held up?

Its legal to pass on the right on a bicycle. Look it up. Here's VA:

§ 46.2-907. Overtaking and passing vehicles.​

A person riding a bicycle, electric personal assistive mobility device, electric power-assisted bicycle, motorized skateboard or foot-scooter, or moped may overtake and pass another vehicle on either the left or right side, staying in the same lane as the overtaken vehicle, or changing to a different lane, or riding off the roadway as necessary to pass with safety.
A person riding a bicycle, electric personal assistive mobility device, electric power-assisted bicycle, motorized skateboard or foot-scooter, or moped may overtake and pass another vehicle only under conditions that permit the movement to be made with safety.
A person riding a bicycle, electric personal assistive mobility device, electric power-assisted bicycle, motorized skateboard or foot-scooter, or moped shall not travel between two lanes of traffic moving in the same direction, except where one lane is a separate turn lane or a mandatory turn lane.
Except as otherwise provided in this section, a person riding a bicycle, electric personal assistive mobility device, electric power-assisted bicycle, motorized skateboard or foot-scooter, or moped shall comply with all rules applicable to the driver of a motor vehicle when overtaking and passing.

So let me get this straight: you're equating a guy touching your bed rail to hitting your truck? How precisely does that make sense?

edited to add: its fun poking holes in all y'all's stupid arguments. Keep it up. Too bad none of y'all will listen like the people with TDS won't listen

So, you believe this gives you the right to pass vehicles stopped at a traffic signal? Guess you want to get ahead of the people who already had to accommodate you so you can piss them off again?!!😎
