Thanks, Bdarg. I agree. I'm a pedestrian, bicyclist, motorcyclist, and auto driver. I try to have respect for other people no matter which shoes I happen to be wearing at the time. It isn't just a bicycle vs car issue, though when I'm on my bike, it sure seems like it. I see drivers of 6000+ pound vehicles not even think about stopping for a six year old trying to cross the street in Seaside, EVERY DAY. I see pedestrians not think twice about walking in the middle of the streets. I see motorcycle drivers who think that the white stripe in the middle of the two lanes is a special lane in itself, created solely for motorcycle operators. I've seen bicyclists on the road, who don't know the meaning and intent of a traffic light or stop sign. I encourage everyone to think of ways to make our roadways and paths much more friendly. Show some respect for all others, no matter which shoes they are wearing at the time, or which shoes you happen to be wearing.

So I was driving out of town today to help a friend move in bama. As I was leaving the house I was looking forward to putting into action my new frame of mind about the 30-a cyclist. I was hoping to see a rider so I could exercise my patience ( and block cars behind me from trying to pass, I was going to be the goalie).:blush: There he was, tight clothes and all, right by seagrove thumb!!! Only problem, he was on the bike path, and I passed him by!!! He took it from me!!! :bang:I wanted to be patient and considerate...crap!! I think maybe he read this forum and decided to give it a try. So, kudos for the efforts and goodwill of the road bikers. Point one goes to you my friend!! Nice shorts, and when I get back in a week i'll be ready to share the road with you.

Ciclismo, Florida Girl's comments do not represent the views of anyone else on this board. I hope you're getting that. (And I am a legitimate American Indian who worked very happily in the service industry for more than a decade, I ride a bike, and I'm not local!)

Oh, and now you are speaking for everyone on the board???

Am I the only person who knows how to go over the centerline in my car with oncoming traffic and not have a head on collision? It's not that difficult to negotiate bikers [Edit] and other cars [end Edit]. You don't have to stop and you don't have to block traffic. It's not rocket science.

Looks like you are the one I will be playing goalie against. :D ( I am not planning on blocking anyone, sorry you got so irritated, it was something we call, what is it again....oh, humor) By the way...going over the line while oncoming traffic is coming is certainly not something a rocket scientist would do. I hope you don't do it while I am heading your way.

You've never passed on a two lane road? Do you actually have a valid driver's license? Doubtful.
