[QUOTE="Parks 788, post: 1326734, member: 14646"] Well, I live in Southern California and happen to be one of those that have very little patience for cyclists. Where I live in Orange County, along the coast, it is typical to see groups of 50-100 cyclist in groups riding and blocking two+ lanes of traffic for miles at a time. Sure they have a right to the road but they sure as hell don't have a right to take up multiple lanes of traffic doing 20-25mph on a 35+ mph street/road. Cyclist have little concern for cars and trucks. Seems like it's an attitude of fock the motor vehicles, I don't care. There are only two things that will change their behavior. 1) Police start targeting cyclist who are breaking the laws for driving too slow and impeding traffic or 2) Irate drivers plowing into the groups of cyclists. Have been several cases where motor drivers have been (probably rightfully so) put in prison for killing cyclists on major thorough fares stemming from disputes. [/QUOTE]
