Well...
if you have a one-speed transmission, the 'transmission' automatically shifts from 'first gear' to 'first gear' ... ;-)

I can't say I'm surprised. We had a
discussion about idiot MB riders screwing things up for everyone, about 18 months ago. I was visiting the Carlsbad/Oceanside area, and while driving through downtown Oceanside (at about 9:00 in the evening... just after dark, anyway) had a MB rider pass me in the bike lane, going about 35 (cars were moving at about 25.) He whipped left in front of me, through the lane AND the turn lane & turned left into a side street front of an oncoming car, which had to hit the brake to avoid having an unwanted hood ornament. I turned left on the main drag inland a block later, get to a shopping area about a mile away, on the other side of I-5, and while driving though the parking lot, this (I believe)
same moron came down the hill, blew through the stop sign, and
I had to slam the brakes to avoid hitting him. It was a busy 4-way stop, there were about 4 or 5 cars working their way through the intersection from the bike's direction. I had the right -of-way and was
in the intersection when the guy shot past the front of my car, two feet from the bumper. He could literally touched the hood as he shot by. I never saw him until he blew past the last car at the stop sign.
That's exactly the kind of behavior that'll get the whole world PO'ed at motorized bikes.
