It is all about simple psychology. The chest pounders that are driving empty pickups and the silly muscle cars that should have been put to rest years ago are the low IQ'ers that feel the need to mess with a cyclist riding some little peddle bike on the side of a road. Think of how sad they really are with being way out of shape, but feeling threatened by our masculinity. Kind of funny if you think about it. I always laugh when it happens. Just figure how unhappy they are. Ouch.

I guess a 20MPG Audi is completely reasonable and responsible compared to the 20MPG 2012 Charger..


Oh.. wait.

I forgot to add shiny motorcycles as a danger to cyclists.

Hi, you must not be familiar with me. Eventually you'll learn that not every word I say on the internet is dead serious.

But today I'll leave it to you to figure out which words are and which words aren't!

Cool story bro.

You better go back to saying people deserve being run over just because they held you up for a second and a half.

I've said this before, but cyclists have to have a set of brass balls to ride in this city. The topography is obviously tough mixed with the potholes, but the worst part is dealing with people who generally hate bicyclists and believe they have no place on the road. Just peruse some of the stories on the Bike PGH forum if you don't believe me. I've witnessed some anti-cyclist stuff myself from people, I'm pretty sure some people think you actually are not supposed to ride bikes on the road.

There are plenty of people who feel the same about motorcycles.
