Seriously, what the hell is wrong with people? Do you ever look down and notice those big painted letters on the road that say LOOK FOR BIKE? Usually right on top of two narrow lanes that look like they might be reserved for bicycles? Or are you just ****ing stupid?
I have the same issue with bikers who don't think they have to follow any traffic laws at all.

When I come across those type of riders, I am extremely cautious in fear of hitting someone because
they have no clue. One day I was on Grand near Ogden and a female was in the middle of the street
and backed up traffic, she didn't care. (btw, I'm female so this is not an attack on women)
Last week, outside of Chicago, there were 2 females riding side by side on a busy street and again
traffic is crawling at 10mph. Of course, those behind us thought we were the idiots. As my frustration
increased, we passed them and I yelled out "move over." Did they? Nope, just kept yacking side by
side.
Thanks for letting me vent.

I think the thread title pretty much ensured that's where this was going.
