They are using a resource that they are paying for. The fact that they aren't going as fast as you want them to go is something you just have to deal with and no amount of whining or complaining is going to change that.

I actually agree with biker. The rules are the rules. If the powers that be didn't intend it as a shared resource, they could make the speed limit 40 with a minimum speed of 26. Personally, I have less problem with bikers than with street legal carts. It seems bikers are more aware of the safety issues when riding on the roads. Street legal cart drivers seem to feel more entitled, they've paid to have a cart that goes a whole 5 mph faster, and now they want to cram their presence down everyone else's throat. They seem to make more stupid moves than bikers, disobey the same traffic laws, and create an even bigger safety hazard---all to save 3 or 4 minutes. If I had to choose, I'd take the bikers any day. Full disclosure----I haven't been on bicycle since 1974.
