I realize that there are times where you'll come across cyclists like this, but maybe they're the reason why drivers have such a bad stereotype about cyclists.
I don't know, just a thought.
i wouldn't even bother saying get out of the way - i'd just run you over.
if i am riding that means i barely have enough oxygen to run the parts of my brain responsible for pedaling - i certainly can't afford to waste any on talking.
when i stop i see dark stops and flashing light behind the eyes.
my favorite part is when after running people over on the bike i mount it to my car's roof rack and start running people over with my car
two days ago an asian woman told me i was an idiot after i cut through 4 lanes of traffic at 45 degree angle in front of her SUV. i basically merged about 100 feet before a U turn i had to make onto a 4 lane street. so i had to make it to the very left lane from the very right one. i tried waiting for the cars to pass but it wasn't happening so i pressed the sport button and went for it. i was actually afraid that she was going to write down my license plate as i was waiting for the green turn arrow but she had to pacify her crying children who were too young to properly appreciate my driving skills. i really feel bad about it now.
actually after that incident i decided i won't be taking this route any more - i will drive an extra block and take the next U-turn saving myself some rubber on my tires and other drivers a potential heart attack. the problem is i can think logically now but the said maneuver was performed just after i finished riding when my heart was still racing and adrenaline pumping.
eh ... i guess to answer your question is when you ride you temporarily become an animal - maybe that's why i enjoy it

the same thing happens when you are having a high intensity workout in the gym.
i am normally a very shy and timid person. but when i am drunk, when i am on the internet, when i am exercising or when i am driving my car i become an animal.
basically as soon as i begin to feel the POWA i go SPARTAAAA ! ! !
i should have never gotten a V8
