Although I think the cyclists are idiots an should find better places to ride, I am fairly polite to them and do my part to share the road.
It is a lot easier to share a lane with them on my motorcycle. I even try to stay off the throttle so the noise doesn't spook them when I go by. And I have never been tempted to "bang bars" with them either. (You motocross/super cross guys know the drill.)

Yeah, I don't understand why cyclists try to ride as close as possible to the white line when they have 3+ feet of shoulder to ride on, especially when there is a lot of traffic or it is a hilly/winding road. This pisses me off because it just creates a dangerous situation.
What really gets me is when they ride in the center of the lane and can't keep up with the speed limit. Maybe there is something I don't know or understand about cycling, but it seems to me this is just a giant douche move to keep you from passing.
I am in full support of people getting outside and participating in healthy activities, but don't be an asshole about it.

When they came through Canon City yesterday, not one of them knew what a Stop sign was for!
i am fully in support of sharing the road taxes with bicyclists.
I'm not holding my breath waiting for it to happen.
