it was yesterday, and it wasn't even really that hot out there...you could have done it.

http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/35082818 its the Thomas J. Evans trail. you should park at the johnstown HS, ride out of the lot and take a right onto 37, take a left on concord rd, and you'll pick up the trail maybe 3/4 mile down on the right. now, on my map at mile 14.1 ish is the bridge i told you is blocked off, but i got around the barriers when that map was made. idk if they started working on it yet. if you dont want to chance it, instead of taking the left off the trail at mile 13.8 on my map, head straight and the trail will run into i think main st in newark...you can take a left on that and go down a mile or two and turn right on 30th st and theres a subway a couple hundred yards down on the left its a decent 30+ mile rote depending where you go from newark...you can browse through my maps too see if you want to try any of those too...mostly on NE side of town

Ill send it to you when i get to a pc and not my phone

Yesterday during the tour ride...20 mi in, still finshed the 40mi route...i figured if hoogerland got through it, i wasnt riding back in a sag wagon. Lol.

id fuck her...she was hot...and i don't want kids, so she's got any accidents covered

lol, funny you say that...i was stopped with mike and dwayne helping with directions and clipped in to one pedal, we went to start, decided to stop to let cars pass before crossing and i tapped my brake and couldnt unclip fast enough, tilted to the left and keeled over...ended up that i broke my wrist in 2 spots, yet still rode the 20 miles back to the start point...glad i had aero bars to get down on, couldnt put pressure on my left palm like when riding....couldnt shift my front gear at all unless i reached over w/ right hand, which is tough w/ left arm on aero bars http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/CR11.jpg

I actually want to get a small corner pouch for this....not for drivers, just one those "better to have it and not need it.." things

Austin, just wanted to update, figures i get a prime example within12 hours...lol...driving through easton today, i saw a guy do it going along stelzer, crossing where you go to get on 270/161. I tried to shout at him but he was going the other way and head headphones in. pissed me off a little...there is no traffic, so I could see how it could happen, but this was at 7 am. I don't see that happening at any other point during the day where there's any moderate traffic but then I pulled into tim horton's and there were 4 women in bike shorts and race for the cure t shirts standing out back smoking cigarettes. I was cracking up

yeah, i actually prefer to stop with the traffic because it gives me a minute, if that, to rest, grab a drink, catch my breath. if im out riding 40-80 miles, the last thing im worried about is rushing to get through an intersection to knock 30 seconds off my 3-5 hour ride. as for stop signs, i could see that happening...i ride a lot on the east side of hoover, we hit like 4-5 stop signs on our route...do we come to a complete stop? no. does a car? no. we slow down, if its completely clear, we go ahead...comparable to a rolling stop. if a car is coming, we wait for them. out of habit, even if we see no one behind us or coming either way at the 3 way stops we come to, we still signal...who knows if a car is coming up after ive already looked back, that way they know which way i intend to go...if its a 4 way stop and someone is needing to turn and everyone keeps running the sign, as you said, thats not right. idk...maybe i try to follow the rules to protect myself as much as possible. unfortunately, others aren't as considerate edit - going back to read your crosswalk theory, im not getting it...if im riding N to S, and i come up to a light at an E to W road, when my road has the red light, the E to W traffic will be flowing...the crosswalk light to go N to S will not change until traffic starts flowing that way again, at which time, the person would be riding with traffic again...if the light im coming upto is red, the crosswalk going that same way will say do not walk...care to elaborate? not trying to say you're lying, it just doesn't make sense

Youre going to ram a cyclist with your car because you have to wait to go around them? Sorry hal, you just lost the title for dumbest motherfucker in this thread...it has been bestowed upon jewtoys

Your safe passing is appreciated...but if i have 4-5' (which really isnt a lot...if someones riding on white line, this can be accomplished with barely going over center line, if at all), im fine...and a 45mph car isnt as bad as it sounds if youre doing 18-22mph...if youre both going the same direction, i see it as the equivelent of how fast a car would seem driving down a neighborhood street while standing at your mailbox since theyve only got 25-30mph on you. And usually, you'll hear them coming up, so its not really a huge surprise. As stated earlier, sidewalks are not for bikes...i posted about my sister crossing and a car bumping her and cops told my mom she should have been riding on the street...at 11 years old...not to mention, sidewalks are horrid on skinny tires...think of driving over half sized speed bumps constantly...thats what it feels like on a road bike. Everyone keeps posting about bike paths...theyre fine...for a while...but the same path gets boring as fuck eventually, most are flat, so theres no way to build up strength training on hills, etc. and with all the slow family riders, joggers with dogs, strollers, kids that could jump out, debris from trees and shit, ive had more close calls on 8' 2 lane paths than roads. Hell, ive ridden 37 from sunbury to johnstown (gasp! A 2 lane 55mph road with hills and turns!)..i dont recall one car slowing down to pass us...they all flew by at a good speed, and still were able to give us enough comfort room, even with oncoming traffic. Dont assume people coming the other way dont see us, because they usually scoot over a bit to let their oncoming traffic pass. Majority of people in here talking shit are keyboard warriors. They know theyre not going to pass too close, because what happens if someone legally on the road gets hit, injured, or even killed? They know theyre gonna be facing jail time for assault, manslaughter, etc. Are they annoyed? Sure, but no one is going to do anything but grit their teeth, pout, and wait to pass (if needed, which highly doubtful they will need to wait, but lets go with it), go around, then head straight home to post on CR asking if other leople get annoyed too. I would love to follow hal around westerville for an hour and see how many times he actually has to hit his brakes or wait for an oncoming car to pass before he can get around a cyclists. From a quick google search, travel lanes are approximately 12' wide. Average car width is 6'. That means you could drive and still be in your lane and have 6' from someone riding on the line...if 2 abreast, i might be 2-3 feet into the road, you could pass by going 1' over yellow and still give a safe distance...and i can bet someone coming the other way wont be riding that yellow line putting you at as much risk to move oved slightly as youd be putting someone on a bike at by driving way too close. Im not debating people who dont follow the rules arent a nuissance, but to those who do follow the rules, people need to chill the fuck out. If they dont like the rule, do something to change the rule or STFU Still, hal is a bag of dicks, and thinks hes hot shit by asking a CAR FORUM if cyclists are annoying. Lets go on a cycling forum and ask if cars are annoying...anyone wanna guess what kind of responses will come up?

Much homo...shit is hilarious

El oh el. Btw, did you watch the climbs yesterday? Looked brutal, and tomorrow is supposed to be worse

Mad, or irritated that this fucktard can male a poll asking for peoples opinions on something, claiming its a bet (thought 2 people had to agree on a bet? If that was so, think i would have put my money on 75 people saying "no" before "yes"?) and i get banned? the fact that at least one mod rides hals dick that hard is hilarious in itself. $20 says no other member has their dick far enough up copperheads ass to pull a stunt lile that off.

So if anyone can make any poll to ban someone, i propose a poll to ask if hal is a bag of dicks, and if he gets one yes vote before 75 no votes, we ban him for a month so ill see that poll in like what, 15 minutes, right after you take your cock out of hals mouth?

anyone else heading down?

imagine that, driving home from work down county line road, and there is a guy waiting at the light on his bicycle in the right lane on spring street waiting for a green light to cross. Once I got to sunbury road, a cyclist riding eastbound on whatever county line road turns into over the dam (smothers?) Riding on the white line on the right side of the road. so I've passed to road cyclists on my way home from work so far, and both of them were following the laws as they were supposed to. eat a dick Edit, 3rd one going north on sunbury, actually on the right side of the white line...3/3 legal, 0 riding like dicks

Once again, way to show how much of an idiot you are...top speed for any non highway road is 55 in ohio. If youre coming around a bend or hill that you didnt see a cyclist before you got to it, and youre traveling at such an incredible rate of speed that theyre all of a sudden right in your way, maybe you need to slow the fuck down in general...i see cyclist well ahead of time, and if i dont see them before i hit a bend, by the time i get around it, theyre well past it and i have plenty of time to react. Lets say im riding 20mph, youre driving 45 coming to a bend 1/4mi away. If you dont see a cyclist when youre coming up to it, theyre already around it. 45mph, itll take you maybe 20 seconds to get to the bend...in that 20 seconds, riding at 20mph, that puts 180 meters out of the bend, plus however far they were already past it when you got to that 1/4 mile marker. That gives you ~15 seconds to react once you come around the bend. But since 19mph doesnt seem like shit to you, id bet $50 and me being banned 2 weeks you cant hop on a bike this weekend and knock out 19 miles in 1 hour.

Cyclists arent supposed to ride on sidewalks...theyre for walking...when my sister was like 11, she was riding to the pool, going through a crosswalk where she had the signal to go, guy coming to the light hit her, knocked her off her bike....nothing serious...when my mom showed up, know what the cops said? "legally, she should be riding on the road"...11 and they said she should be on the road I agree those who disregard laws are annoying...i stop at lights with traffic, use hand signals, stay as far right as possible while riding 2 wide, wear a visible green shirt Dont group all cyclists as annoying...its like saying every driver is a dick because of the groups of people who go out street racing and other shit breaking the laws

Hal, you're still a bag of dicks. Regardless if you think we're annoying, laws are there for cyclists like they are for cars. law is to ride two abreast to the right side of the road. its like that so people don't think they can squeeze by on a single file rider(s) with a car coming at you...riding two wide makes people more conscious about passing and not trying to be passing when theres an oncoming car, but instead, waiting for the car to get by before passing, thus doing it safely

Sure...ill find out when we're leaving caus im riding down w/ a friend

Took me like 4 weeks from phone interview til today to get an in person interview with chase Can try progressive medical too...its not hard work, pay isnt great, but i know we're hiring
