Sounds like a movie of "Roadies Gone Wild on Jupiter Island." Maybe you can get a copy and post it on the Commuting List since videotaped goofball behavior is apparently considered on topic there.
I am aware enough to know there are many cyclist who dont fit into my rant --safe, under the radar, not trying to make a statement-- but, that is why the car people dont notice them. But I do think we all suffer in varying degrees because that percentage is more visible by engaging in actions car drivers find undesirable. Of course those same car ppl not holding themselves the same standard of behavior the expect from us
The Jupiter Island hype I learned of on BF back then. I was living in Floridistan so it was about 2008 or so . . . I was sort of shocked nobody showed up after reading about it and posters all over A1A.
