At least I know they've seen me. Talk doesn't hurt me. I figure every time I'm riding in the road I'm putting more motorists on notice that bikes belong.
It's not the yelling that bothers me. If that were the case, I would have quit this two-wheeled obsession many years ago. Having a thick skin comes with the territory. It's the poliltical implications that are worrisome - these people vote, pay taxes, and outnumber us 100 to 1. Just when they think they've got us stashed away in the bike ghettos where we belong, here we come popping up into their way again, daring to intrude on roads that have not yet submitted to the paint brush.
