I was stalled behind 10 United Nations Flags on wheels this morning on a long road....there was no opportunity to pass as they were inhabiting the entire lane and I wasn't about to stomp on it and cross the double yellows and create my own nuisance/danger... while they looked like "pros" they weren't going all that fast...so I took Spence's advice and waited and watched....watched them all blow through two consecutive stop signs(20 violations in less than 30 seconds) and out onto an even busier road where they occupied the entire lane on a road that is so narrow that it's dangerous in a car, never mind a bike, watched a woman in front of me swerve into the curb doing 40 the other day on this same road, I pulled along side to see her looking down texting unabated even after whacking the curb....I'm glad these guys are getting their exercise but it's only a matter of time before the folks in the first story meet the twit in the second and spandex is no match for pavement and velocity.....hey...but don't get stopped without you seatbelt fastened because that's dangerous and carries a very heavy fine
