That's faster than the Amish buggies go here...on 45-55mph speed limit roads (where of course people like to drive 70). WTF ever happened to people having manners and respect for others? The root problem here is not slow bicycles on the road, the root problem is the devolution of our society to the point were being an asshat is normal, accepted behavior.

My motto for drivers, whether I am riding or driving: "If you're in such a hurry use the freakin interstate system we spent/spend trillions of dollars on. Otherwise, slow the f down and have a little patience and courtesy."
