wait a min, you guys were on the bikes, on the highway doing 55-60/65-70… in the middle lane!!!

this is the one time I might have to hit the NEG REP button! Not only are you guys in the wrong lane, that’s straight up dangerous. Move over first off, Passing lane - Passing Lane - Driving lane. It boils my blood when I see anyone doing a steady speed, slower than the flow of traffic and has the space to move over and get in the correct lane and doesnt. I am sure it does for many others too. Now I ride so I would respectfully make my pass, but many others dont and chances are it would piss people off and make unsafe passes to go around you guys, probably on left and right.

And getting passed from the rear on a bike is super sketchy. The mirrors are small, so they dont catch your eye enough, and watching your rear view like a hawk, just seems to open the doors for disaster ahead of you. People like to pass and look at the people, bikes especially as they go by. Alot of shitty drivers do this and unknowingly creep towards the other lane as they do this.

This is why I HATE getting passed, car or bike. Lead follow or get the fuck out of the way.

//kk rant 2 over and out.
