I’m a biker and I agree with Carabao, I too have great respect for safe cyclists. However in Seattle the norm seems to be bikers who are militant to prove that they are equal to cars. On weekends they will clog two lane roads, riding 3 and 4 wide for miles, preventing any passing or, they will ride in the driving lanes on roads that have wide clean shoulders at speeds much slower than the posted limit. It puts safe cyclists at risk of retaliation. I love Seattle and the trails available to bike but the arrogance of a lot of our bikers is disappointing.
