Good looking cattle. Dad stopped crossing with charlet bulls about 25 years ago. He was still running black baldie cows (Angus Hereford cross) , because they can be crossed with anything and the calves take on the traits of the bull. My folks finally retired about 2 years ago, no more cattle, now they spend their time fishing...both mom and dad are in their mid-70s.

Nope. ...but I'm not riding in an urban area either. I live in what was farmland till a few years ago.

I will follow the law and wait 2 min or 2 cycles if a light won't turn tho.

I'll give you a for example of 'why a cyclist would ride in the road instead of on the 'bike path'' from my ride to work: There's *A* 'bike path' on the northbound side of the main road to work. It's mostly OK going to work. Cars are looking your way to make right turns. Tho leff turners are still a problem just like on a motorcycle. It's not optimal because people turning right are still likely to 'forget' they just passed a cyclist doing 20ish mph and will right hook you.

Coming home, I'm riding against traffic in that 'bike lane.' That gets even more interesting as people turning don't come close to seeing you. I've had a clear intersection and people have turned left only to see me halfway thru the intersection. Thankfully, no one's been in a collision as they're trying to beat the traffic coming at them, but it isn't safe no matter what you non-cyclists think.

I've taken to going the wrong way down a 1-lane road with a shoulder instead of crossing that intersection. It's actually safer.

Could you guys take your argument elsewhere? No one cares who "wins"; we just don't want to read it.

I'm a cyclist, and I agree that there are cyclists who don't follow the rules, and there can be consequences there (look up how Nicky Hayden died), and just like irresponsible gun owners (know any of those) they are the ones that people who don't like bikes hold up for examples.

That said, on the road I've had trash, coins, cans and a radiator hose thrown at me, had someone swerve across from the oncoming lane to scare me, and had a triaxle dump squeeze me into the ditch all on open 2 lane blacktop where nobody was being delayed by anything. Not to mention the host of unintelligible yelling (Doppler shift ya know)

I also had an old couple on the way home from church drag me down the side of a Chevy Silverado trying to make a right turn through me.

One thing about intersections from a cyclist perspective. Waiting 3 cars back is harder for everyone except the 3 cars in front of you. If you are at a foot down stop taking off is slow and most people aren't going to track a perfect line, and the cars that want to get by you are you between you and oncoming traffic, and the cyclist is trapped between the side of the road and the people wanting to pass.

The best thing for all is that the cyclist moves to the front right side of the straight lane and starts up and goes straight through the intersection on green. It gives everyone the most room. The challenge comes in where the cyclist has to hold his line to get his piece of tarmack on the other side of the intersection.

Same think applies in left turn lanes. Get to the front, follow the signals, and stay wide to let cars pass, hold a steady line and dont get pushed into the curb.

JHC - what happened to titty & other pictures? Get a room, guys! This ain't the goddamn bicycle forum. I might have an opinion on the subject, but I sure ain't going to express it here. I just click through all this bickering. NO ONE is the winner.

So the bike argument has now transitioned into a T&A vs bike argument argument. Maybe it should be moved to the tranny forum.

Yepper. We usually calved starting in February, and would wean in October.

After reading 1,500 posts about bicycles, they can deal with my two on calves:

My spring season is extremely close to yours. I try to start dropping about 15 Feb and wean 1 October. Of course with outliers, I'll always have 1-2 hit the ground around the 1st of Feb, and then have 1-2 that are only 180 days old at weaning. We always sell the Monday after Thanksgiving.

My fall season is planned for 15 September, and I'll wean 1 May. I'll sell the week before the 4th. Markets fluctuate, but historically they're pretty decent those two weeks of the year.

Taking a load of calves to OKC this morning. Guess I'd better get off my ass and start getting ready.
