Bicyclists causing traffic problems in Sand Springs.

About 10 years ago it got so bad people in Sand springs were putting thumb tack on the roads

I stopped riding with the group for a couple years after that. It was escalating too quickly at that point. May be time to take a break from WNR again.

What really torques my nut about bicycle riders is they don't think the rules of the road apply to them. They are constantly running traffic signals, stop signs, and turning right on red when it is restricted.

Then they bytch and holler about the cars encroaching upon them. And they wear black at night on black bicycles with maybe a dinky little red flashing LED on the back. Y'all suck green eggs!

Even after I blow my horn they still refuse to move over. Click on the picture and watch & Listen.

That is the majority of them. They have no place on the road.

Sorry bud

If there’s on coming traffic you wait for a safe opportunity to pass

When you start paying your share of the road use taxes, And buy insurance, you might have a right. I seriously doubt the DMV GRANTS your the right to HOG & BLOCK traffic. Move your *** over. You want the general public to be courteous, then you people on bikes need to do the same.

Isn’t there a law against impeadiing traffic?

I don't have a problem with bicyclists so long as they keep up with the traffic, obey the rules of the road, and are courteous. Otherwise, stay off the road.

So if they had moved over you'd have squeezed through without moving to the other lane? That's probably your answer about why they aren't moving over any more.

I avoid public road all I can, for the reasons being discussed here, but I've never really understood the hatred toward cyclists. I can see some aggravation when there is a big group that is regularly causing traffic issues, but I don't see a big problem with something like you just posted.

What about a tractor on the road? What about a piece of ***** car that only runs 20 mph? I mean, when it happens, you slow down and pass when it's safe.

Farmers in tractors better hope it doesn't get enforced too strictly.

As long as the SMV triangle emblem is on the equipment it’s legal for them to impede traffic. They can’t go faster than 25 MPH while displaying the emblem.
