Well, I'm not going to speak for every cyclist. But I'll defend myself. I don't wear sponsored gear. The contract fell through. I generally ride on trails but occasionally I do have no choice but to ride on the shoulder (there are some paths where bikes simply aren't allowed, only pedestrians). Admittedly, as a bit of a cycling novice I get a little intimidated on busy roads.

And before I got into cycling, I would get annoyed by people biking on the road. But really, it's on the shoulder...so they're not exactly in your way.

But let me see if I got this right? It's ok to pull out your phone and take picture of them while driving...but these cyclists driving off the side of the road are endangering you and themselves?In the meanwhile:

they really aren't in the way persay, but they pose a very unecessary danger, which makes everyone slow down and veer left. which as you can imagine be very annoying during rush hour, when you are forced to slow to 40 in a 55.

yes

great video
