That's pretty scary. I'm a cyclist as well, and yes I do still get annoyed when I see someone on a bicycle riding side by side with another cyclist on a busy road or just being inconsiderate to traffic. BUT I remember that even though I am annoyed, that person is another human being who is completely unprotected when compared to me in my 3,000 lb car. Being inconvenienced isn't worth killing someone for so I give them some room. Probably the main reason I get annoyed by inconsiderate cyclists is that they're giving all cyclists a bad rap. So when it's my turn to be on the road I'm getting yelled at, having things thrown at me, and being run off the road because of the actions of some jerk. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Tue Feb 29 2000 - 06:33:59 PST
