Don't equate the goofballs on your ride who apparently weave through your "dangerously on crowded MUPs" with me and my ride. On my MUP, on some mornings when I ride the full way in, I only see 10 people (cyclists, runners, walkers, and mom's with strollers).
And if riding a nice-ish bike, kinda fast (but nowhere near race pace), while wearing lycra means I am a Lance Armstrong wannabe, I guess I am guilty.

Cyclists/bikers should be nice to each other.
You miss the point. Some ARE riding dangerously close, though none to my knowledge are actually stalking me. And I *AM* being nice. For the most part I confrom to the normal drafting ettiquite whereby I keep a steady pace, I don't weave, I don't brake suddenly, I take wide paths around road hazzards all in an effort NOT to crash the guy behind me. Just because I am annoyed do not give me the right to deliberately cause them physical harm.
But I guess by some people's clock, I should also not be annoyed and deal....
I drove today, so on my next ride home, I will take people's advice and just chill out. But then again just about any ****ty ride home on my bike beats the drive home in the car.
