Ragbri

Never heard of a kybo.......... had to google it........... = Outhouse !!

And what's a Ragbri?

They do that crap once a year here. Clog up all the roads for almost a full week. Funny part is, it's put on by the county but nobody bothered to come ask the people in the area. They just showed up a couple of years ago and have been coming back ever since

By blood pressure goes up every time I see a bicycle on the road/street! they run red lights/stop signs , cut a weave in traffic, hold up traffic, etc.
I had one ride for four city block right by my window, two or three inches from my truck cursing at the top of his lungs because I instinctively blew my horn at him when he passed on my right in traffic, and dodged right in front of me, across to the left lane, causing to spike my brakes!

there is an area between me and the 'burg that has a bicycle/walking trail from a recycled RR bed, running parallel to a secondary road. but where do the bicycle clubs ride......you got it, 3-4 wide and 20-30 deep on the road!!! aaaaarrrrrrgggh!


add insult to injury, the idiot mayor of Pittsburgh close one lane of a lot of the streets for dedicated bicycle use.....of which one would be exaggerating if they claimed to see 20-30 bikes a day on them. meantime traffic is clogged to one lane and whow wee whow whow the confusion at intersections that makes

They put bicycle lanes on some streets here.  They are the BUSIEST streets in town.  WTH!?!  Why not the SAFE side streets?!?!
Cops won't even look at em when they run lights, stop signs, etc.  No money in it.....
When I was a kid, you had to register your bike (a one time $1 fee) and were given a license sticker that had to be put on it AT THE POLICE STATION.  They said it was for if someone stole your bike, they could find the owner.  They don't have to even register them anymore now.  Sorry for my rant,,,,,,,,there are a FEW lawful, courteous people on bicycles out there, but VERY FEW....

both the "stockholders do the ragbri each year. (100 points if you get them with your door)!

Ya they sure didn't appreciate my remarks on the local facebook page. They can't handle the truth. At least they wait till the corn is tall and all tasseled out. Talk about public bathrooms.

Round here, they use the worst roads, the most.  Alla the stuff mentioned, 30 to a pack, won't let traffic pass, run stop signs, don't pay road tax... Bout 25 years ago, I usedta drive a '73 chebby, wif 2 over the bed toolboxes, hadda 4" vise on the right rear door of 1 of the boxes, if you hit a bump, on one of them back roads, just right, the door would flip down, and make a resounding bang, as the door reached the end of its cable stops...

There was one of them rides by my place last Sunday. Not more than 5 miles from my place a dimwit peddle pushing loser blew a stop sign at the bottom of a hill into a main highway. She won’t ever do that again. I heard from someone on the rescue crew they used a scoop shovel to clean up the mess into a body bag.

My 12 speed is hanging on the shed wall and suspect it will stay there.........just to be safe. For a couple more decades.😜

 I thought we had the market cornered for idiots that stop in the middle of the road just over the crest of a hill or around a blind corner. I think us dumb people in cars  may have got the word out, as a big Memorial Day  weekend bike ride has gotten smaller the last years.

Thank goodness these folks are gone. Only heard of 1 guy they ran off the road. Of course they don't ever stop.   

I've got an expensive 12 speed when I decided bile riding was good for you and I don't think it has 50 miles on it in 40 years.  Car is much safer and quicker.

Ray,

Good time to check , was trying to say if your courteous and get over and let traffic go by your not like the road hog bicyclists.  But on some of the country roads by me just not much room for a bicycle.
