Default How to Pass Bicyclists

Have you seen the video on the motorcyclist hitting the bicyclists here: https://cbrforum.com/forum/sights-n-...olland-146466/. That's how not to do it. I don't look at the bicyclists, I look where I want to pass them:

Very cool. Where was that at? That climb looks like it just keeps on going up and up and up. I love pedaling up those kinds of things, knowing that I can just coast down the other side for 12-15 miles.

Lookout Mountain, Colorado, from Windy Saddle to the Nature Center.

That white stuff is snow. And the music is Middle of the Road by the Pretenders. The video camera is a cheap Emerson, made for bicycles. It has a handlebar mount and won't fit the CBR's clip-ons. It does fit on the handlebar of my 1979 Suzuki GS1000.

Lookout Mountain is on the eastern foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Golden, Colorado the home of Coors Brewery, is at the base of Lookout Mountain. Elevations range from 6,700 feet at Windy Saddle up to 7,500 feet at the Nature Center. When more of the snow melts, I'll do a video up Mount Evans, the highest paved road:
