Forums >General Running>bikers = bad < inline skaters?
I've found the best way to deal with it is, if they are running or walking I aim myself directly at the one closest to me and when we get close enough that we can see one another's face I close my eyes, stick out my tongue and start swaying my head side to side as I run in kind of a Stevie Wonder homage. I'm not sure what the reaction is to this because, well, my eyes are closed, but I've yet to have my target fail to clear me some space. Then again, I'm built like a fire plug and will usually win most of those collisions anyway.

Why all the biker hatred? I log about 10k per day on a bike ( with my dog ) and never have runner issues.

Alright, so I guess I do hate bikers. I even hate myself when I suit up

... Bikers will scream, "On your left," 3" from your left ear as they rocket by forcing you to jump into traffic. Skaters will yell, "Oh @#$%, look out dude!" as they rocket into you forcing you to into long discussions with your insurance provider about what medical services are not covered...
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
