This is from a regularly scheduled Everglades Bike Club weekend ride in Key Biscayne, USA, on a 10km stretch of road, and all the drivers know to expect it will be there in the mornings.

BS. I'm a cyclists and a driver. Cyclists 100% can be unpredictable, not follow rules, while demanding rule following from others. They are developing a bad reputation for a reason.

It's not an absolute. But generally once someone starts dressing in lycra, they stop being a reasonable person. I will always cycle in street clothes. I don't care how many miles I do. I will never become a MAMIL (middle aged male in lycra). Because I like cycling, but cycling culture is getting wack.

    I'm also a cyclist and driver. I can't count how many times I've seen cyclists blatantly ignore stop lights, stop signs, and generally any other traffic law they want. It makes me scream in my car. They're making cycling less safe for me by lowering public trust. Absolutely mental.

    Do you wear a suit to the gym as well?
