I have even had people yell at me because they were wailing for a train and I rode by them and stopped closer to the train than they were. The reason for all this blatant disregard for bike riders is, in my opinion, ignorance. Everybody that has just about hit me or yelled at me has probably never ndden a bike in their enure lives. Along with all the bad drivers out on the road, there are also many good ones. I have had people wait unul I pass to pull out of the driveways.

There are also some people who will actually slow down and move halfway into the other lane while passing me. That is something I wish more people would do. There is nothing more frustrating, or scary, than hav ing a car roar by you at 55 mph, two inches from your handle bars. Another cause for tension between riders and drivers is all the road construction going on, and the bad road conditions it causes. When a driver is waiting in a construction zone, the last thing he or she is thinking about is whether a bike rider is somewhere around. Road workers also will finish working on an area and then leave the street unpaved for a month. 1 mean, come on, if youre gonna mess up a rode, fix it as fast as you ruined it Not that it doesn't car-drivi- side-swipe- add a new challenge to riding. Oh, and while youre at it why dont you add a wider shoulder, maybe like the causeway going out to Anlclopc Island. About 3 feet would do a lot of good, because nobody warns to dodge kids and women pushing strollers. Mountain biking is a great way to get outdoors and have a great time, but a lot of people tike to ride to a trail head, and there arc also a lot of Roadies (people who just ride the roads) out there. Its not going to change -there will continue to be stupid drivers. The only way to deal with it is for all the ignorant drivers to wake up and start paying attention, and for road nders to look out for those license holders.
