maybe the pace car wasn't with them. Maybe that driver was scared to pass, and put on the hazards to avoid getting rear ended while driving so slowly.
Personally I'm not resentful of the bikers at all. I am resentful of the ones on $2000.00 bikes, full spandex, Lance Armstrong wannabes that scream from the roof tops about responsible driving in regards to bicyclists, but don't feel that they need to follow road rules/traffic laws.
...."55 year old Lance Armstrong wannabe's" is the way I always describe that phenomena....you're right on target swgb.
Why is everyone resentful of cyclists, but supportive of stopping at the crosswalk for beachgoers?
My bike didn't cost quite $2000, but is was more than the Walmart $100 bikes, I do wear lycra shorts, I leave all of those expensive ad jerseys in the store, but do enjoy the feel of the material of a plain bike jersey (the pockets on the back make for good storage), and never once have I dreamed of being like Lance Armstrong. I have no desire to focus 100% of my attention on any one thing for so much of my life.
GOP, the current law is no more than two wide, not single file, and as long as you are moving at the normal traffic flow speed, you can take up the entire lane if you want.
As for the yellow jersey, I don't have one, but even if I did, it would be for the bright color, not because it is the leader jersey of the Tour. I cannot believe that people actually think it is sacrilegious or something. Too much thought given to it.
