I live in Vermont, and I'm seeing a whole lot more bicycles on the road this year than ever before, and like others have said, they are an awful surprize when you come around a corner and right smack dab in the middle of your lane is bicyclists. Someone else had mentioned farm equipment, yes farm equipment is slow moving, but most of it travels at around 20-25mph, which at that speed does give you a better chance of being able to stop or slow down enough so you don't pile into the back of it, but a bicyclist doodling along at a much slower pace and is much harder to see because they are so narrow and the riders almost always don't wear bright eye catching clothing are many times more likely to cause an accident. The state has spent an awful amount of money turning the old railroad beds into bike trails with limestone, and made them really nice, and they do get used alot, but there are an awful lot of bicycle tour groups that ride the roads constantly in the summer and are dangerous to societys driving habits and that isn't going to change. It would be better if these people wouldn't ride right out in the left of the lane, and would get over more toward the shoulder when they know somebody is behind them or coming up behind them, I always did that as a kid on my bicycle, but most of these bicycle tourists pay absoulutly no attention to the motorists and are actually a danger to themselves plus everybody else.
