Out for a ride with a TON of friends. Just riding along on my Griffen enjoying the day, getting some exercise and chatting with really good friends...when this CRAZED MANIAC flies by the group of us ridding and just about runs us off the road and then slams on his brakes right in front of us! He was so angry that we were on the road it was UNBELIEVABLE! A few of the guys riding in the lead of our group stopped and had a "chat" with this guy! It was very ugly. He said that he was a cop and that we were illegally riding on the road (because we were riding two abreast.) Some one asked to see his badge but he forgot it at home. Hmmmm? Well, anyway he was super mad and said some really horrible things about "spandex wearing fairies." We went on our way hoping Karma really does exist. First, I am just glad no one got hurt! Secondly, I wish that people really knew the laws...bikes are considered vehicles and are permitted to ride two abreast. The laws are very clear...but it really makes some people crazy! AND just a quick little note...if you are passing a biker you need to give them a three feet buffer. It is super scary when people fly by you and almost hit you with their mirrors.
If anyone can explain to me why people have so much anger towards bikers...I would love to understand. BUT for know...I will just keep scratching my head!
