Ok two different topics wraped into one post. First off a quick rant about my car. At this point I am a full fledged cycle commuter, cold, rain the works. This means my car doesn't get much use anymore. Well on Friday I had to do the registration (PA is annual registration for $36), today I am having my emissions inspected ($20) and in a couple of days the PA safety inspection (another $20 plus anything it needs to pass which shouldn't be much). In 20 days I have another insurance payment due for another $240 and of course on the 20th of every month I have to make a damn payment. We live in the middle of PA and other than PSU there isn't much here with the exception of cows and trees so I can't really be without a car. At least it is paid off in less than a year. End of cage rant.

So now the wrong way cyclist comment: why do these idiots do this? This morning after dropping off my car to get the emissions done I was on the wrong side of a 4 lane road so the only real option was to ride down the shoulder the wrong way for about a mile. Man that was nuts...yea I could see all the oncoming traffic and I thought every one of them was gunning for me. Wont ever do that again.
