BIKE MESSENGER WEDGED INTO 8-INCH GAP

“It’s the street. It’s really narrow for an avenue, and then you’ve got to dodge all these potholes and all these big trucks and buses, too. It’s crazy,” said messenger Curtis Carr.

What is it with people who ride around on two wheels thinking the rules of the road and, in some cases, the laws of physics don’t apply to them? Around here there are a lot of hardcore cyclists who ride in packs, taking up a whole lane of the street. Ok, you’re driving 1/4 the speed limit but it’s legal. It’s when you pull up to a red light, pause, and then drive straight through it that annoys the rest of us. A red light is not a stop sign! I guess we’re lucky bikes aren’t allowed on the interstate to do wheelies with all the stupid superbikers. I originally thought this sort of behaviour was limited to Athens, but it appears it’s a general attitude among two-wheelers.
