I especially hate these swarms of full-body-lycra-suited tourist yahoos that want to ride side by side on a busy road and give you the stink eye should you pass. Heads up Lance Smellstrong, you don't own the road, not even a bit.
oh how amuch I hate them,
thing is, almost every highway over here has an asphalted bike path right next to it, normal bikes and mountain bikes are bound by law to use them, racing cycles are allowed to drive on the highway - and usually two or 3 beside each other

that's just insane. Racing cycles are hella fast, but even they should be single file. Glad to hear about the bike lanes next to highways, I would love to have that on the belt parkway.

I mean seriously, he called his supervisor and it didn't even set off the crash camera in my cab. I lost one-and-a-half hours fair time plus I was ordered to take the remainder of the day off. It sucks.
that blows. Why punish you in such a fashion? Was there a ding or damage to either vehicle?

You're not missing much. The belt parkway is actually one of Dante's circles of hell.

Ido love the greenway, which connect my neighborhood to Howard beach. Lonely stretch of road, and the bikes and cars are separate from each other.

Work is upgrading to the newest version of QuickBooks this week. Every time I load a new document, it's plastered with yellow hints and helps that go away when I click on something not yellow.
QuickBooks alert: "Click here to bring back the yellow boxes."
My immediate thought: "Oh, I've missed you, little yellow boxes! What fun we shall have together."

My issues with bikes on the road isn't that they can't keep up with traffic, it's that they don't obey the traffic laws. We have lots of bike lanes here so it's not really a big deal in most areas, but the roads that don't have them or downtown with the bikes zipping around not obeying traffic lights....it's really dangerous. That I have issue with.
And of course the ones who ride at night in dark colors without putting any lights or anything on their bikes....
So much this. We have a bike/walking trail that cuts across a semi-main road. It has a stop sign...for the bike trail only. Not the street. Not the sidewalk. If I had a nickel for every time some yahoo on a bike sped through like they were going for a speed record, traffic and pedestrians be damned...

Nope! Just riding down the middle of the road, not a care in the world. There wasn't even a road to turn onto for another half mile at least.

While it seems likely Araxus while survive the ordeal, if he does not it would be an opportunity to build a PC that would give the party some desparately-needed melee support. (With all respect to the wonder-halfling.)
Hmmmm looks like I need to catch up on a certain PBP.

That's pretty much every bike rider in Syracuse. Which, admittedly, isn't many, but around the university during the school year they can seem like locusts. Locusts on fixie bikes.
