...like I said "stupid people vs conscientous people". Does not matter how many wheels they have under their arse (and pistons or lack thereof)

Al, you posed some thoughtful, and well articulated points.

Me personally? If a sidewalk is available (or bike path) I use it. I only ride on roads with wide shoulders. I never would challenge a hunk of mass 100 times my own. Thats stupid. However, I hate those basturds who swing in to the wide shoulder so as to phuk with me. They are some of the same multi-wheeled idiots I was referring to. If they hurt me and I survive it, I will end up living in their (ahem, my) new house.

Now, lets talk about stupid truck drivers...you know, the ones that pull out and block all uphill progress just so as to not lose 10 mph? Or perhaps those folks that enter onto an entrance ramp, and stop, waiting for all traffic to pass so they can pull out onto a multi-lane hiway...
