Hawking lugies or ejecting personal fluids is just FOUL and RUDE. Do you do that when someone's standing too close at the movies? Or do you just spit on the ones you love?

Where did cyclists get the idea its okay to do this????

Can't people just TALK about things instead of resorting to snorting ganks at other riders? I'm not going to debase myself by clearing my schnozz in your general direction, thank you.

I think the brake-and-clear technique is a humane option. I'm not afraid of causing a pile up.
