I have seen groups of road racers (or wannabes) usually out in the country take up most of a lane but I have no issue with this. You can see them from a longer distance than if they were riding single file. And then you can act accordingly and pass the group en masse rather than having to pass 15 riders in single file which takes longer and is more dangerous.
I don't see groups of bikes riding around downtown purposefully taking up a full lane of traffic - doesn't happen

It is illegal in Texas for bikes to pass on the right of you at a red light so I am just enforcing the law for them. Also lot of the bikers go right through the red lights. So they pass on the right and go through the red light and then I have to pass them on a small road which can be almost impossible sometimes. I am just looking out for their safety. We are all sharing the roads and I just want to keep everyone safe. When riding bikes as a kid one of my good friends got hit by a truck and nearly died when I was with him, he had to get airlifted. It has nothing to do with being an ******* and everything to do with awareness. I do not want somebody riding their bike to get hit by a car.
I hope people in front of you drive the exact speedlimit, so they can enforce the law for you.

You have a good sense of humor! I can understand the frustration with someone not following the rules but I'd rather let the police deal with rule breakers. There is no telling what people will do on the road these days.

I live in the city, everyone seems to want a piece of me. Trust me, I drive gently and visibly. Spirited driving is something best done out of sight.

Some hump in a jacked up diesel 4x4 pickup tried to "coal roll" me when I had my 997, (summertime so my windows down). I had been sitting in my car behind him turning left at the previous light and noticed all this **** coming out his tailpipe when the light went green, (I was unaware of "coal rollers" til that day)
So thought to self, keep away from him lol
Next light I was to the right of him, side by side, first to go, light goes green, I matt it to get away, meanwhile he hammers it also, but misses with all his crud...lol
Hit another light, I'm right lane, he's two over cuz he's taking a left, and he's just shouting up a bunch a **** haha. I ignored him, made him more berserk.
****ing creep

Real mature and will certainly help to foster bike/car harmony
I bike to work downtown in the summer and drive when it gets too cold. There are aholes on both sides but I have never seen a biker take a full lane on the road unless its necessary for safety reasons ie like when there is construction and the lane width cant handle a bike/car combo. Passing cars on the curb side is what bikers are supposed to do
Moving over to block people biking is just being a dick

Dbag in a diesel truck got aggressive with me last night on my way back from PCA track event at Blackhawk. Traffic was light so I had no problem leaving him in my rear view mirror.
It was the only issue I had on the 160 mile round trip to the track and back.
The camraderie and fun of owning a Porsche and participating in PCA more than makes up for the P-car haters out there.
