****s getting pretty ugly at times here. Since the lawsuit hit the news there's been a pretty big backlash against cyclists. I was riding the other night fully within my rights in the middle of a lane doing about 20+ mph on my road bike with blinkie lights front and rear when I hear an engine scream behind me then brakes lock up. It was some dickface in a porsche boxter who thought he'd give me a little scare before he rolled down his window to scream obscenities about me.
Joke's on him, I've heard bodywork isn't cheap on those ****ers thanks to the big ass dent i kicked in his door before I gave him the finger and rode off.
(I realilze i'm contributing to the problem, but there is nothing more terrifying than feeling like someone driving a 3200lb. missle is out to get you. )
