They usually have ties to the hardcore punk scene, so they tend to dress in hoodies and dark cargo pants, but they like to build their own bikes (including more odd ones like tall bikes or three wheelers with various baskets) and are sticklers for lights so they don't get hit.<BR/>- serious cyclists: spandex cycling clothes, neon helmets, and skinny tires. I almost never see them riding at night anyway, but I'm sure they're good for lights. They like to talk about their ride's specs.<BR/>- local commuters/college kids: they're just trying to get where they're going, you know? They tend to be the most likely to try and race that red light.<BR/><BR/>But riders down here are fairly likely to get hit by a car at some point, so they're all fairly careful. I only find them annoying when they try to use an old road with no gap between the car and the ditch, and we all get backed up behind them.That Hankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05514310999129694443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5046172520958527381.post-44747559798538069352008-01-31T18:34:00.000+00:002008-01-31T18:34:00.000+00:00I was run over by a bloody cyclist once.I was run over by a bloody cyclist once.James Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525082702330365464noreply@blogger.com
