Yep we have plenty of said idiots in our area too.

Not all of them are like that though.

F both of you.
Just because car drivers are going over the speed limit for their enjoyment, it doesn't make them right and the cyclists wrong for being there.
The cyclists have a right to travel that road just as much as you do as long as it isn't an interstate or similar road that restricts use by vehicles unable to maintain a certain speed.
Maybe it's a scenic route and the cyclists want to enjoy it the same as you.
Maybe it's the only road between point A and point B on their route.
As a runner (who is also a former cyclist who was once a top-level racer, I might add) I sometimes find myself having to use less than ideal roads, such as those without a shoulder, because it's the only way for me to get from one place to another.

So you have a car. Big F-ing deal.
It may not be the best choice in your opinion or from where you're sitting, but you need to get over yourself and share the F-ing road.

That it does.
But more than anything, I hate people who think that a cyclist or runner is an idiot for being somewhere that they don't think is ideal. And it's usually not because they're concerned about the cyclist or runner's safety, it's because they see the cyclist or runner as an intruder, a nuisance on "their" road.
Trust me, I don't want to be running on a road with no shoulder as texting soccer moms in their SUVs or guys driving penis extension cars hurtle towards me, but sometimes that's the only way for me to get where I'm going.

Did I sound mad? Because I could have sworn I said that I didn't understand why they would be on said road....

Anyway, taking her to the mall later for some window shopping. Need to get my step count up.

I'm sorry some cyclists caused your road therapy to be less than the best ever.
Now your viewpoint has been expanded and you can understand why they're there and not where you think they should be.

She cried for a minute and then I bribed her with a little tiny piece of Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.
