Some people are just brain dead or they want to be awarded a Darwin Award. The other day my coworker and I were coming back from our remote office. Normally either one of us would use our bikes, but we were taking a bunch of equipment over so we had to use the minivan. We were traveling back along a road that has just spent 2 years being over-hauled and made cycling friendly with descent shoulders that are clearly marked as cycling lanes and with large arrows to help even a moron figure out what direction they should travel. The road is 2 lanes on each side + the cycling lane, and is separated from on coming traffic by a nice median as well. For those in the Buffalo area I'll mention this was Sweethome Road just a little north of SUNY at Buffalo. So we are driving down the road in the right hand lane and there is a guy riding his bike the wrong way and he is in the middle of OUR lane. To his left he should see the regular pictures of a cyclist (to him upside down) on the shoulded AND the arrow that is pointin at him. We almost wanted to his him... well not really, but come on. These are the people that cagers complain about. See we spend all this money on cycling lanes and they still need to block the road... These the the kind of cycling morons on the road give all cyclists a bad rap.

Is it realy that hard to ride with traffic. I just don't get it.

Happy riding,
André
