If a cyclist or a group of cyclists constitutes an unusual hazard for you, then you must be one of
the worst drivers in Washington State, and that is really saying something, because I dread driving North on I5.
If these selfsame cyclists were indeed a hazard for "all others" then you would think that by now, something would have been done, and yet, I look around and I still see cyclists. I guess the people in charge haven't gotten your list of the rules of the road yet.
Listen, Jeff, I hate to break it to you, but the world is changing. Young people are not learning to drive, they aren't buying or insuring cars and they aren't going to pay 4 bucks for gas. They commute, shop, move and recreate on bicycles. You can get used to it and accept the fact that the roaduse paradigm is changing, and there's nothing you can do about it, or you can stew in your own hatred of things that you don't like. Your choice.
