Cyclists' revenge

[NoM54me]

I ride about 120 miles a week to train for triathlon. It never fails, while out on country roads, these inbred asshats in diesel trucks like to "smoke me out", dump a huge cloud of exhaust in my face. Hilarious, isn't it? I'm looking to get revenge on these turds. I thought of carrying a paintball gun, but that's s bit cumbersome. GoPros are good, but the smoke obscures the plate number. Have any of my fellow cyclists here ever experienced this, and somehow got revenge?

Roll coal. Same things happens to me when I'm running. My room mate is one of those ass hats.

Fucking hate those tards. Unfortunately you can't do much retaliation wearing tights on a bike, the paintball gun is probably all the motivation they need to run you over because lets face it, the fucktards that roll coal aren't exactly the cream of the crop. I'd be surprised if any of them had more IQ than teeth.

Rocket propelled grenades and subsequent launcher. You'd get em' everytime time. 'Murica.

Is OP one of those guys who rides 3-4 abreast and makes it difficult for said trucks to pass?

I only smoked someone out once in my old cummins. Turning right at a red light I pulled forward to look for cross traffic and apparently I was further into the crosswalk than this full spandex douche with the massive spaceship helmet thought was appropriate, so as he passed in front of the truck he flipped me off. The only thing left to do was to dial up the programmer and smoke the bitch out until he stopped. We both acted poorly that day, unfortunately he is the one with black lung, not me.

As for the OP question... I'd recommend not trying to retaliate, especially with a paintball gun as more than likely they have bigger and more real guns in the truck. Try to stay to the right as much as possible as to not impede traffic (YOUR NOT A CAR! lol) and disregard the fucktards.

In a lot of states a bike has as much legal right to the road as a car.

Didn't say he legally had to, but it's in everyone's best interest to stay out of the way as much as possible. Doesn't piss off asshats and in the process doesn't get run over by a 17 year old girl texting her besty.

Same rights as cars, same rights as pedestrians. Double standard.

Of course the bike isn't paying road tax since it's not using gas.

In Idaho they don't have the same rights as peds unless they are walking their bike.

But they are like a chameleon. Changing colors at will.

"Share the road" goes both ways.
