As the saying goes, "there are a lot of old pilots, and a lot of bold pilots, but not a lot of old bold pilots". If JoeyBike is as good as he says, more power to him. Drivers don't actually hate cyclists because of him or people like him anyway, though they like to use that as a rationalization. And if JoeyBike isn't that good, well, he'll either get that good or perhaps we'll just suddenly experience radio silence from him one day. You be sure to show respect for pedestrians, JoeyBike. Outside of that, go ahead give 'em hell in the Big Easy.
