I don't ride to show the motorists I'm better than them. I'm just going to the grocery store.

I've only been doing this seriously for less than a year, but it's been an eye opener. I've sat at intersections and had people role down their window and tell me to get off the <expletive> road. Hell, I've even had pedestrians yell at me while riding on the road. I can't wait for the day when no one bats an eyelash at my presence.
