Bike Forums - Addiction LXXVIII

Last week a driver and male cyclist, of a man and woman cycling duo, had an altercation. The altercation escalated to the piint that the driver exited his vehicle wielding a knife, and threatening the male cyclist. The woman drew her concealed cary and shot him dead.

I don’t get the anger toward cyclist so many drivers have. You have to wait 10-15 seconds to get around someone on a bike normally, chill out.

I would go so far as to say we're in pre-winter.

You need to move to Texas. Or Arizona. That'll fix your ***.

Soupy and 81-84* here. Got out shortly after six and knocked out 42.75 miles in just under 2:15. That’s 19.0mph for those who don’t like math... including lights (which were favorable but still). New 90’ HR record (156bpm) and 25’ total above 300w. And chased down and mercilessly dropped the Felt IA with 404s that got me at point.

Now excuse me while I go pass out.

Set out for a nice 50 mile ride. About a half hour in, clouds moved in and gave me some nice shade. Shortly after that, **** got windy and some not amused clouds rolled in from the west and north (I was heading west at the time). Yeah, that was my cue to cut it short and head back. Got home before the rain and 30 miles was better than nuthin'.

People get nuts under pressure and this has been so for some time as evidenced by the incidence of road rage seen. Worst, there is no push to lessen that pressure from the masterminds in government.

Not for nuthin', but I think that this says less about driver/cyclist attitude and more about an absurd willingness to escalate because you think that you're holding the trump card in your pocket/holster.

What's a local weather man? Is that a new app on my phone? I'll have to look for it.

I had thought I had calmed down some in my old age. But it's clear that I've become re-radicalized. I will attempt to keep it to myself. Here, guns are for the law and the cartels.
