re: Unpopular opinion: cyclists are douchbags

I'm a driver and a cyclist. Most of us DO pay taxes. I've been riding for 18 years. I won't ride in South Louisiana any more, mostly because of two lane roads, no shoulders, and folks that are angry before even considering that I might agree with them. It's against the law to ride on the sidewalk because of the potential danger to pedestrians. Betsy Price, the former mayor of Fort Worth, helped get a 3 foot rule passed there, meaning drivers have to be more than 3 feet away when passing. My pet peeve: fellow cyclists that create a rolling road block - they ride side by side by side by side, going really slow and yacking, paying no attention to vehicles. At least ride single file, on the right, together so drivers aren't impeded and can safely pass.
