Maybe it was just me, but whether on the freeway or neighborhood roads, motorcyclists seemed to be out in large numbers this past weekend in Far North Dallas. They weren’t out in groups really, I just saw individuals weaving in and out of traffic – a lot.

Driving north on Central, one guy wasn’t even using his own lane. He was whizzing by and squeezing in between cars. I was going about 65 miles per hour, and he flashed past my window in a blur. Another one on Hillcrest was tailgating me pretty bad.

Personally, I have nothing against motorcyclists, but it’s kind of scary the watch those who go 90 mph with no helmet, refusing to let any car slow them down. And this morning, the DMN reported this sad accident. I’m not saying recklessness had anything to with it (although the story points to speeding as the cause), but it’s a coincidence and a good reminder that bikers aren’t invincible.
