share the road my ass

as promised, my rant on why i hate bicyclists.  and i don't mean the normal people who just ride their bike around town or whatever.  i mean the dumb asses who have their supper spiffy top of the line bikes and their ridiculously tight spandex that leaves far too little to the imagination.  these are the people who ride their stupid bikes (that probably cost more than my car, yet another reason to hate them) on roads that do not have bike lanes.  and why do these roads not have bike lanes?  because you were never meant to ride a fucking bike there and are either fucked up in the head and/or suicidal if you do so.  take my drive yesterday as an example.  i'm on this road that is nauseatingly windy and full of blind curves and stupid drivers who apparently don't have the ability to slow down their cars.  i'm terrified being on these kinds of road while i'm in my car, surrounded my fiber glass or plastic or whatever the hell saturns  are made out of.  but, like i said, these bikers are either messed up in the head and do not realize that they are putting themselves into a dangerous situation which is highly likely to end in them painting the road with their own blood, or they are willing putting themselves in that situation for just that reason.  and i do not want to be a part of an assisted suicide, or responsible for killing the mentally unwell. 

see?  death wish.  (source unknown)
and that "share the road" stuff is all bull crap.  apparently the bikers think this only applies to cars, and not them.  because they sure as hell don't share the road.  they don't even attempt to move over when you get stuck behind them because there is a blind curve in front of you and you don't have a death wish like they do so you are trying to avoid a head on collision.  they won't even acknowledge that you are there.  i know they can hear me because i'm in a fucking car.  and it's old with squeaky breaks.  so when i have to slam on the breaks because the stupid biker popped up out of no where, my breaks pretty much scream at me.  if i can hear it over the radio blasting, i know they can hear it.  

the worst part is when they ride next to each other, which i'm pretty sure is illegal on roads with no bike lanes.  it's bad enough if two of them are next to each other, but yesterday i had to deal with a group of three next to each other.  three!  i couldn't pass them forever because there were cars in the other lane.  i really think it should be legal to run them over at that point.  and even if it's not, i can't think of any good reason that a jury would convict me.
