- What is really rude is the motorists that insist on going 40 in a 50 who let
- long lines of cars build up behind them. This can cause considerable delays
- and tension for those who are stuck behind. I will never let traffic build up
- behind me regardless of what vehicle I am using. It is your duty to let faster
- traffic pass. It doesn't matter what type of vehicle you are using. (Car,
- bicycle, RV, pickup-truck, logging truck, etc.)
-
- I find it interesting that the slow-pokes are the often the first to complain
- about the bikes.
