How about the cheap shot you took at the Lance wannabe roadie, as you put it.

No really, you spent your whole post running down a roadie who chewed out a motorist who almost knocked him off his bike. I would have been angry too. I get your point about not confronting a car full of gang members. But granny can be just as deadly in that 2 ton projectile.

You don't like roadies and CM riders. How about recumbent riding roadies who also attend Critical Mass and the Death Ride and even drive a car sometimes.
Lance wannabies, give me a break.
I myself think its time for all of us bike riders to stick together and stop pointing fingers at each other and start paying attention to the machines drivin by zombies out there trying to kill us.

If people want to be bike advocates and work within the system, I'm all for it and contribute lot's of my hard earned money to every advocacy org around here. If other folks think that riding once a month in Critical Mass is good, I think that's good too. If you just want to be left alone to get to your destination, that's fine with me too. I'm all for responsible riding and do so myself. That and a little bit of luck is why I'm still alive.

We are all on the same team.
