The wind (and my own nervousness from being so close to such a huge truck) almost made me fall. If I would have fallen who knows how many of his tires would have ran me over. He finally passes (seemed like an eternity) and I started provoking him, for the next couple of miles I wished I would have caught up to him or he would have stopped, I wasn't thinking about if he had a gun or not, just about what i wanted to do to him if i caught him at a stop...

Another time a guy was honking and yelling at me and the gf as we were on a the road (a slow, not busy road) and it was her first time. I would have lost my cool if i wasn't wearing the company jersey and if the guy wasn't in a $100k car and probably the ceo at one of our clients :-s

But seriously all these idiots in cars, i just want to put them on a road bike, be an a$$ to them and see how they like it...my bet is they don't know how dangerous it is out there for us.
They know how dangerous it is. They just don't care.
