Default Rules and Regulations

Riding in Wisconsin today, come up over a hill and see two non-motorized bikers with their left hand up at a 90 degree angle. Well as we all knowas Motorcyclist that meansyou are going to beturning right....Does that same rule not apply for thebicycle riders???? These two fools just about caused a motorcyle pile-up.. I told my crew, "Next time well just run themdown." Don't get me wrongI'm a MTN Bike rider,however I use the sameturning signs I use on the Bike...

Same hands signals as far as I know.

You can also use hand signals in a car.

Cyclists (non motorized) are the biggest azzwhypes you'll find on a road.I ride mountain bikes and used to race road bicycles in endurance events-the dumb stuff I'd see other riders do really used to &^%^ me off.Hope you had a great weekend Snow-I was up there both days,beautiful riding.

Road racing/riding is popular around these parts. It is NOTHING to come up on a group of em in their cute little matching tights. Problem is (other than the obvious man sack barely concealed on the front side), is that that they ride tandem, taking up an entire friggin lane. They leave not quite enough room for the fairing to fit between their columns....

Pisses me off, as it forces you to cross a double yellow, to go past em, as they are going maybe 15 mph, if that.

JB,
When the near collision with bicyclists happen we'd just crossed into Bristol. We left Gurnee on Hunt Club and I have not idea what it turns into once in Wisconsin.---Jenn
