Default So a "cager" helped me today...

I've always ridden with the mindset that people who drive cars are solely on the road to make sure my riding experience is as difficult as possible. Today, I was on my way home at "extra-legal" speeds when I notice a car ahead turn on his blinkers to merge into my lane for no reason whatsoever. Well, I slowed down thinking, "damned cager" and expecting a last minute move. Good thing I did slow down because there was a cop that I didn't see on the side of the road. After I passed him up, he was still in the right lane.

So thank you random person in a white sedan, even if you will probably not read this.

That's cool. Maybe the guy rides. I love when people help you or tell off the cops hiding spots by flashing you. I hate nothing more than when 50 cars come your direction and not one of them warn you there is a cop up the hill! Even if I'm not speeding... Everyone should know and get tipped off for cops.

But hey, Good thing you didn't get upset and go blow around the guy in front of that cop hahah!

There's plenty of smart and considerate people in cages! We just only notice the idiots because the cautious and careful drivers out there are safe and don't do the stupid things to draw attention to themselves. Grats on no ticket!

Cagers can be nice sometimes. ;-) One of my regular twisty routes is known for motorcyclists. Many times, drivers will move over & wave us by. I definitely appreciate that.
