Had to stop, then go, then stop again, then go again, then slow down, stop, go fast, slow down and stop for no apparent reason (nothing to indicate traffic problems, no accidents, car fires, terrorist bombing, etc..) go slow, stop, go slow, stop, go a little faster, everybody goes like hell, stop suddenly for no apparent reason, creep along, stop, creep along a bit further, change lanes cuz it is moving, STOP FAST, go slow, change lanes again, STOP FAST, creep along, go like hell again, slow down to a crawl, crawling, crawling, STOP, crawling, go like hell change lanes, STOP FAST, go, stop, go, stop, go.

That's about all folks.

When I was 18 or so got stuck for a couple or hours on 91 in SoCal riding my bike in shorts comming back from the beach. Could not shower or put pants on for a week or so. Blisters on my thigh the size of my hand. OUCH!!

I got stuck with a huge bill at a restaurant once! I was there like three hours too. I did hear a horn honk outside also.

All right, I made up the part about the horn.

Try dumpster diving next time. You'd be surprised at what you can find.

I was once stuck on an escalator at the mall. It took those morons 4 hours to get the power back on. I peed myself right where I stood. We were stranded . . . battle conditions.

My folks got stuck in an ice storm traffic jam west of Shreveport, spent the night right there in the road, along w/ hundreds of others.

baltimorebayside · 03-17-2008, 10:01 AM

We had a ice storm about a month ago, I was stuck in traffic for 5 freaking hours......The entire Washington/Baltimore area was screwed.....

Never been stuck anywhere on a bike...

You got stuck ONCE?

Jeez...don't complain. You're damn lucky.

I can't go anywhere without getting stuck in traffic on the way home.

Try that stop & go, and all that creeping up with only ONE foot on the ground.
I tell you......IT'S HELL!!!!

Apertureguy · 03-17-2008, 10:22 AM

Yeah, I've been in heavy traffic several times...for several miles.

It's not fun...and should always be avoided during the warmer days.

In Michigan, when we get an ice storm, we stay home until the salt trucks make it OK again. Snow storms, we just put the truck in 4x4 and go.

I get stuck in slow moving traffic often but I've never sat in gridlock. I'm just not that patient if you know what I mean

tricker · 03-17-2008, 11:31 AM

In my truck I've been known to go over small curbs, small newspaper vending machines, small animals and small what-nots...they're like those pesky motorcyclists who hide then deliberately throw themselves into your path when you are trying to turn left or change lanes. Like I'm supposed to look up when talking on my cell phone for them? Pshawww!
