You know, it's funny. Change a couple of the words in the above sentence, and it's almost exactly the same rant I hear from close minded, ignorant motorcyclists about bicyclists. "Nice to know I'm not alone. I don't understand how middle-aged adults can dress up in biker COSTUMES and ride around on those slow bikes creating traffic problems on the weekends. I would feel really embarrassed. I realize most of them are good people but I just don't understand how they can justify getting in my way and looking that gay. That's idiotic."

I've been riding both for many decades, and I still don't understand the elitism and the ignorance on both sides of the fence.

But I will say that anything on two wheels beats anything on 4 wheels.
