I love cyclists, but not sport cyclers. Every weekend hundreds of them drive their cars to my rural neighborhood, take up all the sides of the roads with their cars, and then take up the entire road riding in packs of dozens of them while ignoring all road laws and getting mad at you if you try to pass them. Makes my work commute oh so much more fun.

How do those weekend cyclists mess up your commute? You live in a rural area. What commute are they messing up every day only on the weekends?

Not everyone only works on weekdays. I frequently do 6 or 7 day weeks, though thankfully the weekend shifts are usually relatively short. I have flex schedule, so when I have to help out my family during the week, I come in on the weekends to make up the time, and since I have young brothers I help care for, I often have to cut days during the week short, whether to pick up a brother from school or take them to a sport, etc.
