I lived in an area that had a very busy road that cyclist used daily. It was very dangerous place for them to come to ride, two lane road with no shoulder, but they did in great numbers. My fear was that I might hit one of these stupid people and ruin my life(I saw several others hit some of these guys during the years I lived there or at least the aftermath of the hit, bicycle crumpled and guy lying on the ground with emergency workers standing over him). I can't stand stupidity nor cyclist that use these type of roads any longer.

The thing that really pissed me off about the whole situation was that this area had 2 large parks and a small one within 5 miles that they could have ridden in. This is not about riding but how much they can take over and show they own the road. Though I am sorry for him, I have long since lost my tolerance for the situation, cars and bikes do not mix. Not only is he dead but an other guys life is ruined, when finding a good park to ride in was an easy choice.

It is usually unsafe for others using the park or trails when a cyclist is moving
at 20 to 22 mph. That's why they are on the roads. However, they need to
be smart about which roads they choose.
