I just realised Audi is an anagram of I, Adu.......
My last comment was meant to be my last on this topic, but now that there's a nice video of a seemingly capable person breaking the law... Why not either tell her to move over to the side (while there are creative ways to do this, obviously talking would be the most civil) or call the cops? Obviously any kind of aggressive behaviour will only reinforce the view that "they're out to kill us" and probably make her even more inconsiderate.Please note that she's not really keeping right and she's not letting other people pass until the very end of the video. Also, not stopping for stop signs. This is some of the 'better' bicyclist behavior here. Typically they're a lot worse - often they'll wobble around badly enough (again, even between two lanes) that not even another cyclist can pass them, let alone a motorcycle.

And I hadn't quite realised how stereotypically German law-abiding types we are, if that's the norm over there. Any road with that kind of speed limit and width would be pretty rural here, and I've never seen a cyclist (even old people) ride like that on such roads, and suburban areas would have cycle paths anyway.
Crews spent hours overnight cleaning up tons of watermelons that spilled on Highway 175 from on overturned tractor-trailer.
The crash happened about 7:30 p.m. Wednesday when a big rig carrying 36,000 pounds of watermelons lost control on ?Dead Man?s Curve.?
The semi was going too fast on the 90-degree turn, and the driver lost control. No injuries were reported.
All lanes of westbound C.F. Hawn Freeway were shut down for hours while a skid-loader was used to remove the melons from the road.
The highway reopened around 4 a.m.
You'd think the name "Dead Man's Curve" would be a clue to slow down a bit.
