i am fully in support of sharing the road taxes with bicyclists.

I'm not holding my breath waiting for it to happen.

Well, that's good because it already does.

I have little respect for cyclists as they are always hogging the road and pay little attention to the rules that are also applicable to them in terms of road use.
What really used to grind my gears though was when I was out running and they’d ride by me with little to no passing room and making as little noise as possible so they scare the crap out of me and my GSD. Maybe I should’ve let my GSD off leash to see how fast they can go?
One of the many pluses of my new home here in Maine is few cyclists. Also while I’m at it:
Few liberals
Few Prius’
Pro-gun
5% sales tax

A lot faster than a GSD for a lot longer. $0.02
I completely hear what you are saying (I run a lot as well), but I stopped making noise when I'm on my bike in most cases.

I hate to make generalities, but my experience has been most walkers, hikers, runners are all pre-occupied up with each other, their dogs, and worst - their phones and iPods to hear you anyway. Then they act surprised when you've been trying to get their attention for 1/4 of a block. I don't yell anymore either. In my case, even out on 20 mile runs, I never listen to music or anything - and I've been surprised by cyclists and cars. You're out in the zone (or more likely a box of hurt) breathing like a bellows. It isn't their fault or yours and if you act predictably nothing bad will happen in 99.99% of cases.

Hey Lebowski, as a cyclist, do you take issue with anything I said in post #25?

[anomad]

why is it they have to dress up like the goddamn tour de france is in town in the smallest spandex they can find to ride there bikes?

also on a country road thats 55mph posted speed limit when your outta shape friend who is parked on the backside of a blind hill in the middle of the fucking road sending a text expect to be cursed out

So you hate all bicyclists, the ones that park in the middle of the road, or maybe just the gay ones?

Just want to see if I fit into one of your categories?

Bicycles are not vehicles they fall under bicycle rules. I watched a guy get a ticket in the hospital after being hit by a car because he didn't yield the lane like he was supposed to.

Vehicles cannot share lanes but bicycles must in this state

pretty much all the ones who take themselves way to seriously

This reminds of other "vehicles" on the road.

I have seen this person many times, mainly Sheridan heading north 92nd to 112th. An older hag pushing close to 300 lbs on an old VESPA cruiser. She apparently insists she can ride on streets with 45-50mph speed limits such as Sheridan, north Federal/120th. She is always causing traffic to back up badly. As you pass her she is rapping the VESPA as high as she can get it barely going 30mph.

Anyone in the north end of metro see this gal? I see her once a week on average in this area and on Federal/287 section.

Saw her pulled over once by a Westminster LEO. Next time I saw her she had a "blinking yellow" on. Apparently this made her slow lard ass legal.

Scooters fall under motorized bicycles and are not legal to be in zones above 35mph
