About Lycra cyclist and canyon roads. I am the inspector for all special events in the County of Orange and they are the worst pieces of shit on Carbon Fiber. Errogant idiots that think a 20lb bike with a 150lb. Rider is going to make a 3000lb behicle traveling 55mph slow down for them. In all my years of inspecting, at least I have never had to call an ambulance for road kill pick up. They listen when you threaten to close down the event. But not all of them, they are considered statistics. My buddy was in the hospital for over 5 months after a Lycra fag rode his bike into his motorcycle on Santiago Canyon Road, and it has an 8 ft bike lane. Cyclist decide to u turn without looking and Kawi 650 ran his dumb ass over.
"Worst shit on Carbon Fiber."
I call them "Shavers." And dont try and tell me all these guys have to shave their legs. Bull shit!
^^^^ Don't hold back P841, don't hold back - you'll blow a blood vessel right the frick out of your forehead. Let your feelings go man and tell us how you really feel about those "Lycra fags" (best descripter I have ever heard)
...
I will admit I've blown some vessels, but usually I get up on them when Im on the bike and then I will down shift nice and loud and then ride right behind in 1st or 2nd, twist then let off, twist then let off...after a bit of that they start looking back at me all annoyed, then I shake my head and wait for them to move over. Sometimes we exhange pleasantries
Sometimes I just want to line my foot up and move then over myself
In my youth. 20 something plus years ago I was a Lycra Fag. But I was a responsible Lycra Fag as I road a street bike also. I remember sharing the road with a lot of inconsiderate 3000lb vehicle drivers. However it was in my best interest to get out of their way, even though I had (HAVE) the same right to be on the road. If there was a bike lane to be used, You betcha I used it. Otherwise I used about 12 inches of the lane just to the left of the absolute shoulder. The best part was while riding down from Lake Tahoe was when I was able to over take cars using the passing lane. The look on the drivers face was priceless.
I too back in the day (from 23-28) was a cyclist. I used to ride all of these Malibu Canyons but not The Snake. I miss those days of being in great shape from cycling. It did cause me some knee problems though. But it is really such a great conditioning sport. Tahoe would be an awesome place to ride. I bet you did surprise some motorists 2Smoke.
Of course I'm stereo typing when I say they ALL hog the road but, not about the shaving part
As far as Im concerned
you lose points if you wear spandex AND shave your legs
Dont do that guys. You may lose your Man Card that way
