I can see why you called the person an idiot. Who says, "Its you choice"? If they had even half a brain, they would have said "It's your choice".

Thanks for the underlines. I don't think we could have distinguished the difference between driving and riding without it.

That wasn't a blessing. It was an attempted exorcism.

And if you're going to be continually aggressive to riders minding their business, you may find your car with less paint than before!

I'm not following what you did because the cars in front were stopped. Filter on the left? Pull a U-turn? Cars were coming at you from the opposite direction and you had the right-of-way to turn left in front of them?

That cager never heard Pepito:

Pepito was sitting on a park bench munching on one candy bar after another. After the 6th one a man on the bench across from him said:

"Son, you know eating all that candy isn't good for you. It will give you acne, rot your teeth, and make you fat"

Pepito replied, "My grandfather lived to be 107 years old."

The man asked, "Did your grandfather eat 6 candy bars at a time?"

Pepito answered, "No, he minded his own f*****g business.

Thats funny. This reminds me of a story Bill Cosby tells.

Cosby goes out for a walk and takes his carrot sticks with him with the best intentions of being "healthy" mandated by his wife and doctor. After walking a while he sits down on the park bench next to an older gentleman. As Cosby is begrudgingly eating his carrot sticks the older guy pulls out a Snickers and starts eating it. Cosby turns to the guy and says "You know that candy bar could kill you." The older guy looks at him with his carrrot sticks and says "It looks like you are dead already."

BTW I actually like carrot sticks.

my commute this morning featured the aftermath of a crash where someone obviously failed to properly observe a stop sign in their motor vehicle. Then when I got on campus, two motorists at subsequent 4 way stops ran the stop and thought they should go before I did even though I had gotten to the sign before they did and had properly stopped. Lawbreaking motorists 3 (or 4), lawbreaking cyclists: 0.
