=**Cyclists that think they are cars**=

===Ever drive down the road, minding your own business, when all of a sudden a cyclist cuts through his bike lane and into yours? The car lane, the lane that is specifically called car lane for a reason, because it is where tons of moving metals called cars speed through here to get to their destination. But sometimes you encounter an inbred know as a cyclist who chooses to ride in the car lane because he thinks he is a car but in the meanwhile, they are slowing the master race known as the drivers to their inadequate slow speed of 15-20 mph making you suffer on this 45 mph speed zone. Not only this, but they associate with being called cars. They want to be recognized as automobiles by the other drivers but even though they do this, they still don't give an f about the rules of the road, as the picture says, they run the red lights and don't follow what "cars do". This isn't it yet though, it is mostly the fact that when a car driver decides to act and swerve past them, they think their the shit and have the acidity to flip you off as you resume your right to drive at the moderated speed, this is extremely annoying as they are risking their own life pedaling down this dangerous lane while you yourself feel unquestionably uneasy at the site of a non-motor mode of transportation with a helmet as their only for of protection is trying to keep up with the rest. So if you know anyone that does this, or if you yourself ride down a car lane, please stop and ride down the bike lane closest to the curb please, and if no bike lane is available down a road, then you obviously do not live in Ventura.===
