Anybody here try to run over a cyclist?

Not wanting to stir a debate on "rights", but for their own safety, why don't they ride in parks or on trails, or at least the roads in town with bike lanes?? Don't they realize how much drivers hate being stuck behind them - only to get around them - then at the next red light they pass the cars, who then have to go around them all over again. Fuggin sucks!

And we've all come up on a pack of cyclists, 20 or more bunched up taking up the whole lane, not riding single file over to the right. That's some bullsh*t.

I dont mind the cyclist if they are riding in a 35 mph zone. I'm already creeping anyway so we can share. The hot rods that think their hot poo and get out on my 55 mph uphill road and expect me slow down until i can pass...these fugs can eat the curb.

Also, it blows my mind when there is a bikes only lane and bicyclists refuse to use it. Maybe you think you're too good or too fast for the amateur lane? You're Not.

Yeah if they are on slow roads, or country roads, that's fine. Even roads with 2 lanes each way so you can at least pass easily, is fine.

I just hate the Lance Armstrong wannabes that get out on the 45/55mph zones and screw stuff up and cause potential accidents.

way too many of them idiots around my place. I live out in the country and all the roads around my place are paved, single lane roads with really narrow shoulders. There's thousands of them out here especially on the weekends. How more of them don't get run over I will never know!

I was responding to a fire one time in an engine and I come up over a small hill and there was a bunch of them in the middle of the road. I lay on the horn and closed my eyes...not sure who poo first...them or me! Still don't know how I didn't hit at least one of them.

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
