We live very close to the White Water Park and they travel in huge bunches when their training for a Meet or whatever... The road is full of curves and no where to go around them so ya just ride with them.. It will work your nerves.. Thanks, Kenny..

I thought that is what that new walk/bike path was for that runs from downtown to T.R.
They're in line drafting just like nascar at dega,except they can't bump draft,so to keep from having to brake check they'll pull out of line(not saying this is the case you're speaking of). The people upfront are the ones doing all the work so they constantly pull out of line.
On your way to work tomorrow don't use any mirrors and look back at the car behind you and let us know what lane you end up in, or have a living relative post for you.
Some of them are like you describe,unless you ask them what their reasoning is you'll never know. All you can do is assume they're daring you...
I know I'd never dare someone in a car to hit me....

The reason everyone hates them and wants them off the road is they are doing something you can't do. They ride 20,30, 40 50 miles on a bike and hell you fuss about having to walk from a bad parking spot at Walmart after you have drove up and down every aisle for 15 mins hopping someone pulls out. Then you get even more ticked off when all the lazy people ride in buggies are taken. Your idea if exercise is getting up and going to fridge for another beer. Now leave them alone and stop the hating and give them room!!! Ohhh also go down town Greenville and look at the high dollar bikes and who knows maybe you can put one on layaway!!!!!

When I was racing I sold my hotrod and bought a 22 lb full suspension mountain bike.I used market scales to weigh the bike and it's parts. I won on it with ease...

Okay it wasn't easy but it was sweet. My BMX race bike weighed 20 lbs, Jr's BMX race bike weighed 12 lbs and was considered heavy. He was one of the very few 5 years olds that was forced to move up to novice,the only one in the state at the time.
