Sort of funny for me to see this topic at this time.
I am very into biking. For example right now I know that at my Lactate Threshold I produce 4.2 watts per kilo. If you know about this sort of stuff, you would know that thats pretty damn good.
Yesterday I was riding on a local fast ride. (About 60 miles long. takes 3 hours. usually around 50 guys. 20 mph average. ride leader ex Olympian also there national tri champion state champions etc thelist goes on)
About 2 hours into the ride, we are riding in a group of about 40 people. It is a narrow 2 lane road that sees almost no traffic. We are in a rotation. So there are 2 lines of people. One is going a little bit faster. The person at the front of the faster one will move over to the slower one and rest. Thats the rotation. Thus making it so we are always passing someone, which makes it legal in the state CA.
A guy comes up from behind us pissed off that he has to wait 10 seconds for a safe place to pass. (Take into consideration that we are moving along at 30mph) This guy goes past us with his horn on. Then when he nears the front he swerved over into the pack but not far enough to cause him to crash. Several people flick him off and he pulls infront of the pack, stops and jams it into reverse. He hit one guy, but just barely.
Luckily no one was hurt, but unfortunately he didn't get locked up. Partially because the guy who he ran into grabbed him and shook him around a bit.
