I do note that many of the bike riders exhibit the same poor/offensive driving traits on their bikes as they do behind the wheel of their cars. <BR/>Road rage:<BR/>Impatience with slower bikes or non-bikers. I heard a biker screaming profanities at an in-line skater taking up too much of the trail.<BR/>Camping out in the fast lane:<BR/>Riding two abreast and ignoring the 'on your let' notice to allow another rider to pass.<BR/>Impatience with those camping in the fast lane:<BR/>Riders passing on curves or into oncoming trafffic - whats the hurry, wait a couple minutes and get some sprintin practice when you pass them.<BR/>Talking on cell phones:<BR/>Driving/riding erratically. Cell phones are good to have in an emergency but turn the thing off for an hour when you're recreating.<BR/>Riding with Ipods:<BR/>One reason riders don't respond to 'On your left' - they can't hear. Even goofier is to see to riders together, each plugged in to his/her Ipod. What's the point in riding together.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
