I will wait to pass judgement as many times coming up Deer Creek and High Grade the bikes are two and 3 wide and I have no problem tooting my horn at them.

We typically do not drive that way unless it is dead of winter because they are such a pain and when they are going downhill it is worse because they think they are going as fast as your car.

I do not mind the bikes but there are those riders that are just jerks.

Looks like the driver has been ticketed.

It is easy for a person on a bike with camera phone to report the driver of the car, what about the driver of the car being able to report the person on the bike. I try to obey the law with the 3 ft rule and do what I can to go way around. There are those with thier bikes that think they can do as they want and those I do not tolerate at all. There are those that are bigger jerks than drivers. I wish that all those that ride thier bikes be required to either have a lic number attached to the bike that is easily readable or some kind of device that would allow them to be reported if needed. This needs to be a two way street not its all about the riders of bikes.

Often times they are. Or faster.

Good idea navycpo7. License on the bike would go a long way to identifying the idiots. And points on their licenses for repeated infractions. Thanks to the riders and drivers who make a conscientious effort to share the road.

At first, I wondered why the driver didn't just pass them. Then I realized he was just being an ass.

Then I wondered why the bikers didn't just pull off and let the drive pass. It seems kind of dangerous to bike with one hand while using a cell phone. You could possibly get a ticket for that if you were driving a car.

I guess we might never know who started this altercation.
