They ride at breakneck speeds - on a 10' wide path that winds through the woods and has many blind curves due to vegetation- riding double - yelling some kind of orders to each other. They came around a curve last week that ran me off the path. I yelled HEY! And they yelled back at me. They take up 3/4 of the path - and more on curves. I came across another rider around the corner that was just run off the path by them. Not cool - no matter how cool they look in their roadie gear and expensive bikes.
I'm not afraid to test the strength of my bars when those "types" are experienced. Those crowds are better riding in the road, hence "road bicycle". Common sense is not very common.
