Frymaster, I have maybe a half hour invested in this whole thing. It is not a cornerstone event in my life. Writing the editorial took maybe 10-15 minutes and I probably spent more time reading the posts here than writing my responses. Again, maybe this is because I have a writing background.

I think everyone has had to slow down behind a bicyclist, jogger, skateboarder, etc… and I’m certainly not complaining about this. I’ve been on the other side and been forced off the road, yelled at, had things tossed at me and all that. This is not about bicycling; this is about attitude. That you seem to be unable to separate the two speaks volumes…

I didn’t start this thread, dude. This letter appeared in my local alt weekly and someone else posted it here. I’m not venting anything on this forum. I’m just responding to attacks. I don’t think I’m being defensive, but it seems appropriate to say something when people call you names.
