It's shocking to see how many people want to flex, or intimidate less-strong people on the road. For us, that's a car jacking with a bicycle, they did that crap to me when I drove Miatas back when I didn't have a broken arm. It was shocking to see how less frequently I was messed-with when I put a Smith & Wesson sticker on that car.

I am not sure that it's worth going back to the bicycle after all the time I have in recovery. It's been months and I still can't even write my own name, it's going to be like a year before I ride again if ever, and then there's not gaurantee that I won't be hit and killed the first time I go out.
