You need to read it again, gene, because you're way off on your comprehension of what lil brown bat said. It's perfectly clear that what LBB meant by "recreational activity" is standing by a roadside waiting for a cop, NOT cycling.
IMO you owe him an apology for your mean spirited rant based on a complete misreading.

I'm not going to argue with your choice of recreational activities...just saying, as I did when I came into this thread, that it seems like a waste of time to me, and that in your place, I would have other things I'd rather be doing.
