You know them, you've seen them...the large packs of Tour de France cycling wannabes, all decked out in their professional looking unitards and $6,000 10 speeds all riding 3, 4, 5 and 6 abreast and basically taking over a whole traffic lane!!!
This is seriously becoming one of my biggest pet peeves these days. "Hey the Tour de France is on the TV, lets all go out and pretend we are all in it!!!"
If you clowns are supposed to be "professionals" then why can't you "professionals" understand the BASIC rules of the road! Waht part of SINGLE F*CKING FILE do you guys not comprehend??!!!
Roads are meant for MOTORvehicles, not bicycles! I don't mind sharing, but holly hell when you guys spill out taking up half a car lane, it's a touch much and really putting your stupid asses in a really dangerous situation! But OMG, if you happen to hit one, all hell would break loose I'm sure!
We past a huge pack of them last weekend on our Traffic Course. they bob and weave back and forth, don't shoulder check at all before pulling around their buddy to pass them. It's like they think they are in the bloody Tour...only problem is the roads aren't shut down to vehicles for you jackholes!! The lead instructor did a quick honk of his horn to basically let them know he was there and coming up behind them.....well if looks could kill. these tards turn around and are staring daggers at us. For what? Warning you that there is actual traffic behind all you wads breaking the laws and going slower than the posted speed limit!
It was great, we got into the middle of the pack at a light and the instructor positioned himself right lane dominant , except he put himself a bit closer to the curb in his Goldwing so none of them could shoot by everyone at the light as they are going straight and we all were turning right. Could have been messy as these guys are more focused on their iTunes and showing off their spandex asses to everyone than on what they should be focused on; they own safety!
