I am a very patient man, but I have my limits. Yeah, I tell them to go screw themselves, etc, but the constant snickering can make my blood boil.

When I ride my motorcycles to work, it is the same thing, all making fun of my safety gear. All think I am a wuss for wearing helmets on all rides. No one seems to understand why anyone would need to wear a bicycle helmet.

My plan is to commute, try to ignore the insults, and lose about 20 lbs in the next 6 months. If that happens, I probably will rub it in the morons
