(1,415 posts)1) Cyclists are considered motor vehicles. The furthest right "straight" lane, except when turning left, is theirs.
2) Cyclists may ride two abreast. It's their lane.
Most states are like that, from what I gather.
"I would not intentionally endanger one with my vehicle, but I have been seriously tempted to stop and beat the hell out of them on more than one occasion."
I wish I could be this flippant about another person's safety. Just FYI, many bike riders want to get off their bikes with a handgun or bear mace (some carry for dogs and such) and shoot people for breaking the law by zipping around too close IN THEIR LANE.
Old people coming out of church at 25 mph don't make me want to get out of my car "and beat the hell out of them." Stopping school buses don't make me want to "beat the hell out of them."
In short: Chill the fuck out, bro. Wait for a passing lane and lay off the meth, man.
