Is there a reason these people feel that they have a right to endanger others as well as people driving a car? The roads were built for cars and trucks; they weren’t built for bicycles.
What happens, God forbidding, if a motorist hits a person riding a bicycle? First time that happens, the bicyclist becomes hurt or even worse than that. Secondly, the driver would usually be sued, probably lose everything he’s ever worked for in his life, all because of a bicyclist that wanted to ride down the center of the road and show they have the authority to do that.
What makes people do these crazy things? I’ll never understand. Hopefully, they’ll stop doing it and take other people into consideration. They put their self in danger, they put me in danger, they put everybody around them in danger just so they can – it must be an ego thing.
I hope this makes it in the paper. Maybe some of these bicyclists will see theirselves and not do that. Ride on the sidewalk if you have to, but they’re not doing that.
