ANOTHER ONE ??!!......Today's ride was up towards Devore. On the way home I hit Euclid Ave for the descent. As I'm going down I see ANOTHER ONE! Some dude on an mtb running redlights!:eek: I know I'll catch the guy as my descending skills are far beyond that of most riders.:p

As I'm about to overtake the guy I'm thinking maybe I'll say something like," you know you just ran a redlight back there!" just to see how he reacts. Then I think maybe not as he might try to put a shoe up my arse!:D

So I just roll by and sure enough, another redlight. So I signal my slowing/stop with the proper signal. I stay right where I'm supposed to be, and make the stop hoping he stops too or I just might end up with a bike up my butt!:eek:... Yup, he follows my example and makes the stop. So I take out my camera and take a pic. "Smile you're on Candid Beanzer Camera!":roflmao2:

See, it's not so hard to stop at the lights, is it?:D

I wonder what he was thinking when I took the pic!:D

Now I'm going to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony!;)

Right on, hombre!
I take perverse little delight in coming to a complete (and slightly diagonal) stop at redlights on PCH ahead of the hard-charging tri-pelotons on PCH on Sun/Sat mornings. They tend to treat reds as voluntary when there are enough of them, and I relish hearing all the shouts and squealing brakes behind me. (I know, I need help. :p)
