I hate them, especially the ones that don't ride single file and back up windy, mountain roads for miles. Don't even think about them pulling off at some of the pull-offs...that would mess up their pace and workout. I agree with the others who say they should follow the laws and have to pay a registration tax if they want to "share the road."

I would hope that my constant horn would not mess up their pace with my bumper 6" behind their back tire.

Just ten minutes ago, I watched four cyclists run a busy stop sign.

Bike riders need to learn that obstructing traffic by riding too slow is also against the law. If you can't keep up with traffic get off the road and on a bike path that's what they're there for.

Cyclists are OBNOXIOUS. I've never seen one actually obey a stop sign... and at intersections with diagonal ped crossing they'll just merge into ped walkways & ride across. One of my friend's brothers is one of those fixie freaks and he told me that as an urban cyclist you gotta just ride like you own the road, cars be dammned. wtf?!@#$

In VA, impeding traffic is a 3 point offense.

I don't mind cyclists that obey the laws...but for the ones that don't, remember...I drive a 4600lb vehicle. You're going to lose if you run a stop sign in front of me and I don't stop in time. That said, I also ride a motorcycle and am generally hyperaware of running signs and lights.

Google it yourself, every state has laws about impeding traffic I'm not going to dig up all of them for you, bicycles are not exempt. You can even find a few posts on bicycle forums with people whining about being cited for it.
