You're right, bikers do have the right to the road, but it seems to me that most of them either don't know that they have to follow the same rules as any other vehicle, or they think they are above the law. I live on a very busy road, and it gets tons of bicycle traffic from a town 10 miles away. I'm at the end of my rope with these people. Running stop signs, stopping in the middle of the road in a big group for a break, ect. The thing that really gets me is that they refuse to ride on the shoulder. This road has a very nice wide well-maintianed shoulder, but yet they just won't move over and let you by. I was on my way to work early one very dark foggy morning, when I came within feet of hitting some idiot riding right out in the middle of the road. You know, come to think of it, bicyclists are a lot like farm equipment- they move much slower than other traffic, and the law does say that they need to abide by the same rules that any other vehicle would, so why not make them put flashers and slow-moving vehicle signs on their bikes? Mabey then they'd just quit out of fear of being laughed off the road. But seriously, why don't they need flashers and SMV's?
