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.

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.
