Bill,
Maybe "personal attack" was the wrong term. Would you like ad hominem better?
I'm right, you're wrong, I'm dead, my widow is rich, your wife is broke, dreading visiting day at the penitentiary. You get three hots and a cot!! Whoo-hoo! Was it worth it?
What color is the "Locomotive of Death"? Maybe I should give a heads up to your local cycling club. You are a very dangerous man!!!
That cyclist should have gotten a ticket for riding on the sidewalk. Sidewalks are for pedestrians. Good thing he wasn't a pedestrian stepping off the curb. He probably would have had the right of way. Just like the cyclist that would have had the right of way if he would have been riding in the street where he belonged. Do you wait for cyclists when you want to turn or do you pull ahead of them and turn? A lot of motorists do that. I never see them do it to other cars though. Must be that big pair hiding inside the vehicle, knowing that they can always "step on the gas" and get away anonymously.
I went on a ride today and had a car full of teenagers yell something unintelligible at me. I was not only in the three-foot wide bike lane, I was riding beside the concrete curb because it was easier to ride on than the recent chip-seal. What was I doing wrong?
Later on the same ride, I was riding as far right as possible on a two-lane rural road. Some motorist decides to do a three point turn right in front of me. I had to come to an almost complete stop. Did I blow a gasket? Shove something up his a$$? Beat the hell out of him? No, I just started pedaling again. Thought I might ask a motorist, what was this idiot thinking?
I did see what was left of a broken broom in the ditch, though. What is the proper length to cut it? Are the lengths different depending where it's going to be shoved?
Too bad the broom handle wasn't ten feet long. It might have been the proverbial "10 foot pole" that marks the distance people use when they want to avoid something, like, say a train.
You're clearly intolerant and nothing I can say will change your mind, will it?
It seems everyone else has calmed down. Maybe it's your turn.
