The irony of it all is that if I were driving a vehicle behind a cyclist on the very same road in the pic, and that cyclist was taking the lane, I would be DELIGHTED to slow down an entire caravan of cars and trucks behind me for however long it took for the guy/gal to break into the clear, or they waved me to pass them. I'm a dick like that. So yeah, I just called myself a name! No biggie. It's A&S!
