To the 99+% of motorists who respect my right to ride,

Thank you for passing me cautiously, waiting for a safe opportunity to pass and giving me just a few feet that I need to ride safely and dodge roadside shrapnel. Thanks for understanding my hand signals, need to change lanes and general support for our coexistence.

I know many of us, myself included, rail rightfully on forums such as this against the small minority of motorists who are hostile, disrespectful and endanger us. But you and your vast number of peaceful motorists are due my deepest respect.

Love,

Todzilla

+1 - for every jerk there are 10 people that go out of their way to drive politely. Most jerks aren't even jerks, they just didn't see you. It's not a war.

Frankly more cyclists act like meat heads. I'm a little frustrated after an encounter with an arrogant little schmuck the other night.

+2 OMG! I never thought I would see this on BF. Kudos to the o.p. for being able to compose such a timely and cogent message.
