you really couldn't slow down and find some room? ANY room?! HAD to pass the guy right then and there?! ...and it's somehow his fault you can't drive?!

It isn't the recreational cyclists on the MUTs you need to watch for, it's the joggers, walkers, kids, dogs, and other braindead zombies. Not to mention that the MUTs usually dump you out on roads at about the worst spots possible.

It's safer to ride with the cars. They're *usually* predictable.

I see these kinds of posts lots. Usually from people that don't have a clue what they're talking about. I suggest you try riding a bike on said MUT. Even better, learn to ride a bike and experience the fun too

...and yes, I've been riding for more years than I've been shooting.

Missed the part about the bike lane paralleling road? I've always wondered if biker shorts constrict a self-awareness gland somewhere. I live on a mountain that has a steep, twisting, no- shouldered road going up to the top. Bikers love going up it at negative 2 mph for the "challenge". They always act annoyed when they aren't given 20 feet of room when traffic finally allows passing. If you can't do the speed limit you aren't traffic, you're an obstruction. There's a reason I don't jog on public roads. I don't want people to think of me what I think of those bikers.
 
View attachment 8004440Just yesterday, I was on a divided road with an 8’ wide two lane bike path paralleling it. Cyclist is in the road instead, admittedly on the right side. I’ve got traffic next to me so cannot move over, so I pass him without slowing down. I did move left and hugged the line to give him way more than the legal 3’ clearance between us.

I get past him and see him fling a finger at me in my rear mirror. I laughed. Did he expect me to slow down to his speed? Respect his ‘right’ to use the Highway? 🤣🤣

Yes, I realize that he is a ‘serious’ cyclist and doesn’t deign to share with the occasional recreational rider…<sarcasm>
The proper timing of Jake brakes and train airhorn is priceless😆😂🤣

One of my favorite memories involves an entire pack of very un-self aware self absorbed spandex wearing ass hats, my old 7.3 powerstroke equipped with an edge tuner. It had a low boost fuel adjustment that would absolutely lay down an eye watering fog. State highways are for motor vehicles. Don't block the entire lane then give guy in the truck the finger because he doesn't want to go 5 f'ing miles per hour.
Clip in pedals really suck when you can't see or breath🤣🤣.
