People who rides bikes and/or jog in traffic?

i live in a good size town in the south, not huge like a city but also not a dinky little town you know and i love being in the country when i can get out there, but i don't mind the people walking as long as they're not in the middle of the street and i do see some that do get about 2 feet away from the curb, but i don't like the bikes really, most of them get far enough out in the street you have to go around them and everything, i know they do it for exercise and they have the right away but still, i know we're supposed to share the road but that doesn't mean pedestrians should be allowed to be int he middle of the street either

Ah! you don't know the sweet spot you just hit! I can't stand these jerks! It just annoys me having to slow down so these freaks of nature in spandex can ride their bikes on busy roads.

I just got back from Austin and was dumbfounded by all the morons riding and jogging in the busy streets. As someone who lives out in the country, it's hard for me to understand these people who seem to be deliberate nuisances and obvious safety hazards. I have no problem with these people going to the park (and we did see many at Zilker) but zipping around in front of drivers on congested streets? Does this insanity bother anyone else?

They shouldn't be using busy roads. That would be frustrating if I had that problem everyday. It seems they take the "Pedestrians have right of way" theory for granted.

As long as they don't impede the flow of traffic, dart out in front of cars and make themselves easily visible, I'm fine with it. It's just that people, in general, are stupid. Very few pedestrians and cyclists (especially in more urban areas) follow the basic rules.

you don't say.you don't say how much more for insurance we have to pay for idiots.yes and to think how many of them drive.it bothers me,when the guy behind me wants his bumper next to mine like they should be sweet hearts.and the family of mexicans that think a permanent right of way is in their favor when they walk into the street with out the courtesy of yielding by looking both and every way before making anyone Driving step on the brakes . ya da ya da yada
