I'm (un)lucky enough to live in an area where people race those bastard machines AND the roads are exacly one car+one semitrailer wide. Those bastards ride like they bulletproof, car-width, doing the speed limit and are carrying lights like a roo-shooters ute. Alas the truth is that they are covered in skin tight lycra that offers the same crash protection as tissue paper, they do about 40% of the speed limit, and have pissy LED lights like I have in my torch...actually I have a Led Lenser P7 torch that pisses all over their lights.
They only thing they DO have in common is that when they ride in groups they take up the entire lane like a car, even in blind corners and the down side of hills. This is fine but I'm telling you if I have the choice of meeting a semi-trailer head-on with my family in the car at a combined speed of 200+ km/h OR plowing up the arse of a group of soft-bodied riders clad in the expensive (stretchy and oh-so wanky) equivalent of tissue paper and riding carbon fibe machines that weight eff-all I know which one I'll be collecting. Especially if they are taking up the entire effing lane and don't move over or even look as you skid towards them with all four wheels locked up.
This is great, very theraputic
