Whats Your Pet Peeve?

OK - as a bicyclist I'll counter with idiot drivers that

- make right turns without looking for bikes
- have to enter traffic from a side street and block the bike lane while they're waiting
- make left turns and only look for other cars coming against them
- on roads with no bike lanes drive around bikes with 3-5 inches of space

I ride about 16 miles each day and I'd guess that if I didn't keep an eye out for idiot drivers I'd get hit between 2-3 times each day. It gets a little frustrating...

I'm guessing that you're one of the bikers that actually hugs the fog line. I have no issues with you and will swerve into the oncoming lane (with traffic coming at me) in order to miss you by several feet. It's the [censored] bikers that take up a third of the lane that will hear the swoosh of my side-view mirror in their ear. If you make an effort to hug the shoulder, I'll return the courtesy and miss you by a comfortable margin. Move more than two feet off of the fog line and I will send you a message.
