I own and occasionally ride a bicycle. Although I manage to do so without being a spandex-clad, cyborg-helmeted total ****ing nerd. I make bike riding cool. Got an ashtray mounted on my handlebars, and a little tray that holds my smokes and a drink. Picture someone from the Vegas Rat Pack riding a bike. That's me.

In front of us, ON THE STREET, not 5 feet away from the designated bicycle path, was a guy on a bike!! We had to slow to a CRAWL and wait for traffic in the other lane to clear before we could pass his obnoxious ***!

Now, like I said. We are both sympathetic to bicycling. Not because we think it will change the world or save the ****ing planet. It's just fun, good exercise and we enjoy it. But WHY THE **** should I have to yield a road meant for cars to some ****ing ***hole on a bicycle when there is a bicycle path **** near within arms reach of this inconsiderate ***hole?

I felt like opening my door as we went by and clobbering the geeky sonofa*****!

Every year, when I renew my car tags, I have to pay taxes and fees for the upkeep of the roads that I drive on. Fair enough. I understand the logic. I drive the roads...I pay for the roads.

What about those inconsiderate, nerdy ****ing ***holes on bicycles?? Why IN THE **** should I have to slow to a crawl or swerve into an opposing lane of traffic and take the chance of a head on collision with another TAX AND FEE PAYING CAR OWNER just to avoid taking out a few tree-hugging "cyclists" decked out in gay-cyborg-superhero regalia?

I suggest that a new TAX is in order. If bicyclists want to use the public roads and highways built for and funded by automobile owners, they should pay a hefty INCONVENIENCE and DANGER TAX and display a License Tag on the back of their rediculously expensive mechanical conveyances proving that they have paid said tax and are thereby entitled to inconvenience and endanger everyone else.

Any cyclist without said tag displayed, is fair game.
