Attitudes toward motorists: How do you see them?

Do you fit one of the following profiles?

Total up how many of these symptoms apply to you (make sure to wear a helmet while doing so, birdbrain), then match them to the statistically infallible score chart below.

1) You realize you have no idea how much gas costs, and even though you been going to work along the same route for the past two years or more, you can't seem to recall a single gas station along the way.
2) The sentence, "Americans are too dependent upon their cars." makes perfect sense to you.
3) The sentence, "A bicycle is an efficient and practical means of transit" makes perfect sense to you.
4) You really couldn't care less that you have a full knapsack, brown socks, and are riding a mountain bike on paved roads.
5) While doing #4 above, you find that you are leaving sprinting wannabes in the dust and loving it.
6) You brace for potholes- even when you are in a car.
7) YOu think of all roads in terms of their "hilliness."
8) You refused to join your local bike club because they have never heard of "Effective Cycling."
9) You become anti-social and distrustful of everyone you meet and secretly wonder how they treat cyclists on the road. You re-read Spike Bike stories every night and really identify with Spike, and you begin to wonder if your family, friends, neighbors, church members and co-workers wouldn't run over you in a heartbeat if they didn't happen to recognize it was you on the bicycle.

Chart scoring:

0-1: Get off the sidewalk, Fred.
2-5: You're getting better...nincompoop.
6-8: Hey, that's pretty good!
9: Honorary A&S'er. Congratulations. Celebrate by getting pissed at another cyclist who isn't riding on the same line as YOU want them to.

-Kurt
