If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I can accept that. Can you accept if you are wrong?

My fear is that this forum becomes a "mutual admiration society". A-holes come in all shapes sizes and vehicles. Just because you ditch your car doesn't make you immune from being one. As a group, we should attempt to police ourselves because bad apples ruin the reputation of the group.

Some people shouldn't be on the road - in a car or on a bike. Riding a bike doesn't give you carte blanche.

Ride predictably, signal, stay to the right within reason and expect cars to pass you. Don't take a lane unnecessarily. Do not confront drivers on the road (even I need this reminder!). Get a thicker skin - cars will blow their horns, get over it.

About the name calling ... if you came up to my window I would take it as an invitation to have a conversation, and me my friend, you don't want to have a conversation with. You keep behaving like that and you will meet someone else like me that won't tolerate it.

BTW: making me a "senior' member does not make me your father mother brother or sister, or even your friend. Don't expect me to support your behavior if I think it is out of line.

Watch his video again with an open mind.
