Original Message I live in a mountainous area full of narrow 2-way roads that snake thoughout. More often than not, these roads have no posted speed limits (55mph) or are 45mph, and are full of blind hills and corners. It's a beatiful area, and in the good weather, attracts all types of people looking for that "idyllic weekend country drive".

I'm not here to demonize anyone (I took these same drives before I decided to just live here), but I hold a deep & long standing disdain for bicylists.

I mean, specifically, those bicyclists that travel in packs, decked out in expensive gear covered in sponsorship logos (that they're not getting paid to display, quite the opposite!). Biketards?

Now, let me say -- I get the appeal for coming out my way - weather, beauty & a challenging ride with sufficient hills and curves is what I imagine these people dream of, but FFS, someone is going to killed!!

I have had far too many close calls coming around a blind corner to find a pack of these humans, 2 or 3 wide. Even when they're single-file, these roads have no shoulder. If I'm doing 45 in this situation & there happens to be on oncoming car, WTF?

This is not the Tour De France. Going 2+ wide, drifting, this stuff makes me so damn angry.

Either a bicyclist, me, or an oncoming car is going to get killed one of these days.

Minimum speed limits would fix it. I know, good luck with that.

What do ya think, GLP?
