Biker Foul

I've seen this more than I care this Winter. Today encountered it twice and almost got hit by one biker.

Why do some bikers ride the wrong way in the bike lanes? Not always novices either; this one dude today had all the gear (goggles, face mask, etc.).

I mean WTF? There are even monstrous arrows showing us the way!?!?! When I've got traffic on my left and you're coming at me there aren't many options . . .

Sure you can fit three. As long as one doesn't' mind being doored, and one doesn't mind be buzzed by cars that are way to close...

in it to win it said:

lanes that fit 3 bikers across is awesome, please let me know the streets you take and i'll see if they follow my commute
