Default What are some annoying things cages do to you when riding?

Here's mine..

I'm sitting at a light and I'm going straight when it turns green. Sometimes cars will try to squeeze by on my right side to make a right turn on the red. I feel like it violates my space, it bothers me a little bit.

Maybe I'm being to emo, lol..

so just chill in the right hand side of the lane (where their right tire would be if they were going straight) they won't have room to go through

I hate it when the chick in the car in traffic looks in the rear view mirror when your lane spliting and as you pass she blows you a kiss with her legs spread... I hate that

When girls with no ***** flash me for a wheelie. I laugh and tell them I'm asian, so I have a small peepee.

Where oh where to begin?
1. Tailgating, especially in the canyons (or at least, trying to keep up)
2. Wanting to race....in traffic
3. Swerving so I can't get past

1.idiots telling you to do a wheelie then getting all pissed off when you don't.
2.everyone trying to race you
3. people riding your *** b/c ur going the speed limit and getting mad( flashing their lights and riding even closer to you) that you aren't hauling *** just b/c u have a bike, But then again its fun because they get over and try to pass you so i just speed up and that aggrivates them even more.

!@#$#$@@!#$@$ errrr!!!!

this has nothing to do with riding but on a bike or in a car is still pisses me off.

i F!@#ING HATE when people don't know F!@#ing laws when it comes to driving.


"yield on green" Left turn at an intersection. people sit behind the line until it turns red where they continue to sit. there is almost always enough room to pull out enough for you & the car behind you. light turns yellow then red, on comming traffic stops and you NO MATTER WHAT! have the right of way!

1. Flick cigarette butts out the window while you're riding behind them.
2. Flick boogers out the window while you're riding behind them. (Well you really can't see the booger, but you notice them digging for it and then sticking their hands out the window.)
3. On the cell phone cutting in front of you not paying attention.
4. While riding behind them, they decide to clean their windshields with the washer system.
5. Not pulling up to the "signal" to trigger the stoplight to change when they are behind you. Instead they stay back 50 feet because they are being a safe/defensive driver.
6. Thinking they can out accelerate you on the on ramp when it merges into one lane and eventually merges onto the interstate.
7. At the stop light, ask you to do a wheelie, or a burn out, or a sleep with their wives.
8. While crusing in the left hand lane at a steady pace the decide to merge onto the freeway, cut 4 lanes over and cut you off as if they didn't notice you.

The biggest reason why I don't ride on the freeway. My personal favorite is when they try to pull up right next to you at a stop light, when your both going straight.

One time I was riding and went to make a right turn at an intersection, with an uncontrolled left hand turn. I saw a guy coming to turn left in a new Landcrusier and thought "he aint yeilding" got on the brakes, it wasn't going to be a problem, and the dude just stopped in the middle of the intersection, so I got back on it. I guess he saw me, but that kind of treatment is unlikely.

the thing i get the most is tailgating.

i'm not going faster because there's a car 3 car lengths in front of me. if they weren't there, i probably would be going faster, so get the expletive off my ***.

the one thing i can't stand is when you're cruising at around 65 mph blending in with traffic on the freeway and some jerk feels that he needs to compensate for something and does a ricer fly by on you

Cutting it way too close when making a left hand turn in front of me.

Yesterday, I had one guy(who was obviously in a rush) try to pass me in the same lane we were both in.

Yes, sometimes when I get passed on a two lane highway they come back into my lane a little too soon.

Actually bro, I have to burst your bubble, but in most states the law states that you are not supposed to stop in an intersection at all, including when making left turns.

People do it anyway, and cops usually pay no mind, but since we are talking about people not knowing laws when driving I thought I should mention it.
