Cyclists

[69boss429]

After reading all of the posts on this thread I would like to share an incident that happened to me.
And,I find this incident and countless others involvieng cyclists on the roadways(at least where I live) to be common and frequently dangerous for cyclists and motorists.The arrogence of most,not all,cyclists is what's so amazing.
While traveling on a narrow country road ,in my Ford Expedition, with curves and hills,I came up on a cyclist traveling in the same direction.
He was well into my lane and I had to slow down from the 35mph speed limit to wait for a stretch I could see far enough ahead to pass.Having driven this road thousands of times I knew what was ahead and passed him several hundred yards before a stop sign,at which point I swung back into the lane and stopped.
Well,it seems the cyclist felt he didn't have to stop at the posted sign and there was not enough room to get by my stopped vehicle on the right so he proceeded to swing out to the left and try to pass while I was stopped.
As I pulled away from the stop sign he was right on my bumper yelling and showing his IQ with one hand.
The fortunate thing for him was there was no one coming the other way as it is a blind spot over a short hill before coming to the stop sign from the other direction.Yet,because I followed all legal procedures he was upset.
Sorry to be so windy,but these common practices by cyclists are what get most motorists upset.
A little toot on the horn politely asking them to move over a couple feet almost always gets the 1 finger wave from them.
Respect,they need to earn it !
