I thought we were getting beyond all this junior high stuff. I guess I was wrong.
Camy, if you came to Sacramento and drove up behind me at 7:40am, you and your buddies might have a hard time deciding whether to mutter under your breath or send out positive karma. Somedays I ride my beater, somedays I ride my race bike. Somedays I'm in lycra, somedays I'm in Hugo Boss. Yesterday, I rode to work wearing a tie that cost more than the bike I was on.
I'm glad you pass safely when you come upon our DFW roadie/commuter/training/just riding around brethren. That's all we can really ask, I guess. But let me also suggest that you ride your bike to work. The extra miles will do you good. And ride whatever bike you like and wear whatever makes you comfortable.
