Rules of the Road

[alcid61063]

Hi all!

I have been biking for years now. I alternate riding my road and hybrid bikes. Even have a trailer for the hybrid to go shopping with. I do this because I truly enjoy it and I use my bike and needed exercise.

Question: Why do so many bikers ignore the rules of the road, i.e. going through RED lights and STOP signs??? AND, Riding in small 3 - 4 groups a so that one cannot safely pass them with while driving. If you toot the horn lightly, most ignore you as they are deep in conversation.

It's not just a few here and there. A couple weeks ago I was stopped at a local Stop sign, and just as I began to shift slightly to the right to get ready to move, a woman came speeding by shouting "on your right!" just as she got to me. Right through the stop and into oncoming traffic. Later I saw her do this two more times.[Of course I looked before I moved. Good thing!]

Many people have little respect for those on motorcycles and even less so for those of us on bicycles.

I do not mean to sound preachy. I have made mistakes through the years as have all of us. But, I do my best to obey the rules of the road and safely pass among the other drivers or bikers. Do we really want further regulation of our bicycles: Licensing, registrations, testing?

Well just finished my second ride and ready for a little rest. Us older guys tire after a days work outside and two 12 -15 mile rides.

Safe biking to one and all!

This crt??/ person has posted this same really strange message in a few different spots. Makes no sense at all.

I am not sure I understand how to use the pedometer for biking.

I have used it often for walking.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Jack

A woman starts dating a doctor. Before too long, she becomes pregnant and they don't know what to do. About nine months later, just about the time she is going to give birth, a priest goes into the hospital for a prostate gland infection. The doctor says to the woman,"I know what we'll do. After I've operated on the priest, I'll give the baby to him and tell him it was a miracle.""Do you think it will work?" she asks."It's worth a try." he says. So, the doctor delivers the baby and then operates on the priest.After the operation he goes in to the priest and says, "Father, you're not going to believe this."."What?" asks the priest, "what happened?"."You gave birth to a child!"."But that's impossible!" says the priest."I just did the operation," insists the doctor, "it's a miracle! Here's your baby."About fifteen years go by, and the priest realises he must tell his son the truth. One day, he sits the boy down and says,"Son, I have something to tell you. I'm not your father." The son says,"What do you mean, you're not my father?" The priest replies,"I am your mother. The archbishop is your father.".vibram fivefingersvibram five fingerFiveFingers KSO
