Cars + Bikes = Problems

Share The Road

Is that so hard to understand? Now I am completely on board with the people who get annoyed at bikers who ride three across, who do not obey traffic signals- you know the ones. I am not one of those. I use a mirror on my helmet and, if I am riding next to Hubby, keep an eye out for cars coming and move into a single file line when necessary. I ride close to the edge of the road, or at least as close as I can safely. I stop for stop signs, stop lights, and use hand signals when I turn.

The one thing that I do not do is back down when a car or truck tries to take me out. As Hubby says, one of these days, I am going to be dead right, instead of just right. I know, I shouldn't mess with large machines powered by engines, when I am on a lightweight little bike, but I just think that if you are going to try to take me out, you should have the balls to do it without having to use a car. You should come to me face to face, tell me your beef, and we can work it out. But how cowardly are you to try and run me off the road and then give me the finger?

I know there are asshole bikers out there, but come on people. I pay for those roads, too and I deserve to get my share.
