Going under the speed limit can be just as dangerous as going over.
I don't hate bicyclists but I wish they would get the hell out of the way.

Cyclists have a right to use the road. Again, I try to be a responsible cyclist, but sometimes it is cars that make it difficult to get over to the side of the road ... such as when they illegally double park, forcing me out into the car lane because I don't want to be in the door zone... and you know, there are times when autos are slowing ME down. I was descending down a mountain with two other guys about four weeks ago and we were stuck behind this bus going about 40/45 kph, but we wanted to go MUCH faster...

I don't mind cyclists like yourself, but it's when a whole group of them go on a major road and lolligag. It seems to be always in heavy traffic and when time is crucial too.

Do you have a point with this? That is not particularly fast. I average more than that over the course of a 100km race and can eaily reach 28-30mph on rolling hills in a race. I nearly average 20mph over the course of a 180km race course after swimming...

Not particularly impressed with that speed.

No, i didn't have a point with this. Just making conversation.

I'll leave it at that, as the rest of my smart ass response might give me points.

And I live in CO. We got loads of that stuff. And it doesn't need to be particularly straight depending on what you're doing. Here, people on road bikes can routinely do 30 mph on flat roads no problem. They also have no problem doing 20 mph the wrong way through an intersection. Nor do they have a problem going 15 mph uphill 4 abreast.
