[#ff0080][size 1]When did bikes take over the road. Did I miss some rebellion by the bikers. when I was a kid we were told to stay off the road. Actually taught to get off orur bikes and walk them across the street. At school we get in trouble if were caught riding in the street. Now bikes hold traffic and get in the way and act like we (Motorized vehicles) are pests. They don't pay road taxes, so what gave them the right of way. I curse at them as I pass "yep your right but your dead". If someone doing there makeup, talking on the phone, eating breakfast and reading the morning paper (hey I've seen it) dosent see them, they have no chance. Well thats enough of my rant. Just have a couple of nieces and nephews that think its their right to ride thier bikes in the street. The cars will stop for us they tell me. Aargh!!!!![/size][/#ff0080]
