I just gotta say this Northern California bicycle thing is making me NUTS! I don't mind a group of Lance Armstrong wannabes decorating our roadways, but it has become ridiculous. One of their favorite roads is Danville Blvd., a 2-lane road with well marked wide bike lanes going both ways. You would think that would be adequate, but NO! They have to congeal together in some great wiggly pack like a herd of sperm covering the entire roadway. A motorist has a choice of hitting the brakes or swerving into oncoming traffic to avoid the huge technicolor ejaculate oozing out of the bike lane. What's up with that?

And another thing; Why do they all stuff their asses into those stupid outfits? They look like Spandex sausages. And of course the little Spandex leotards are decorated with the names of all their sponsors! Sponsors? Give me a break! If I drove my 911 around the city wearing a racing suit emblazoned with exotic advertizing folks would rightfully think I was a few bricks short of a load. These leg-shaving, spandex wearing road hazards are really starting to piss me off.

If the good folks of this State have given you a bike lane, stay the hell in it!
