Bikes: Bike Count: Rising.

1)Families that will spread out and literally use the entire road up and won't get out of the way, forcing me to force the issue where I will nine times out of ten get an earfull of how I endangered their kids. When in truth they are putting everyone at risk by blocking the entire road. Fortunately this one usually only happens in mid may to late september.

2)The general incompetence of the road departments here. Yeah the roads need to be repaved, let's put up a couple playgrounds instead with the tax money. And when they do get around to patching sections of road, one of the road departments(cough, clinton township, cough) uses an old worn out road grater to patch the roads with. They have since upgraded to a small, old worn out roller that should only be used for driveway use.

3)Landscapers/lawncare. Yes park in the road and use up 2/3rds of the road.

4)Mid aged couple who ride their comfort bikes on the wrong side of the road.

5)Train tracks. During the process of my road rides I go over the same railroad(different sections) 8 times.

6) The prick who cuts his yard when it's wet/raining and leaves the clippings in the road, making it almost seem like an ice rink.

7) The occasional soccer mom who only gives you less than 2" of room because their oversized suv is so wide it takes up a big chunk of the road.

8) The horse farms in a downwind. Going past them makes you want to hurl.
