Why I ride like I do #1 and #2

Here is a little insight into why I ride the way I ride (and if you don't know how I ride, click my sigpic and look at a vid or two):

#1 - I was in a movie theater once watching a James Bond film - can't remember which one, but it was Pierce Bronson (sp?). He and some tart were racing on some curvy mountain roads in their 4-wheeled sporty self esteem boxes. At some point they encountered a pack of roadies (maybe 30 count) cycling on the same mountain road. They zoomed through the pack of riders causing a chain reaction of epic proportion crashing. You know what?

The full to capacity audience erupted in LAUGHTER!

I made a mental note of that. "O.K....so that's how it is."

#2 - You need to take a double dose of high blood pressure meds before checking this one out. Be sure to read the responses too!

It's the "chicken or the egg" thing. Do they hate us because some cyclists ride crazy, or do we ride crazy because they hate us?
