Roger – thanks, wish it was like that all the time
Bob – I’m trying to keep the confrontation levels down. Life’s so much more pleasant that way …

Hey, something from a cyclist that I’ve actually enjoyed reading.

Thank you. I think that’s the way cycling is supposed to be

Being a little bit of a hot head, I’ve only scraped a couple too close car doors and once cussed out some old girl who thought she might commit some sort of suicide by opening her passenger door in front of me. Funny how one can suddenly curse in a foreign tongue when pressed.
Reminds me of a time when one of my (former) brothers-in-law was cut off while riding his motorcycle,(yet another two wheeled vehicle that gets around mysteriously unseen) at which point he proceeded to follow this person to their home, wait for them to pull in their drive, and not so politely asked just why they had tried to kill him? He had the sort of temperament and physical ability that clearing put him in that category of “not to be messed with”.
The offending car driver was profusely apologetic it turns out. Probably for the best, since someone would have made a hospital visit, while the other would have no doubt spent some time dealing with the authorities.
