lol.

I raced bikes for years, put thousands upon thousands of training
miles in, and have heard that sort of comment countless times.

Occasionally some knucklehead would act like you talk. They get
themselves yanked out of the window and their asses kicked. The
driver's crying apologies and begging are always the funniest part.
The cyclists actually don't really care what you say, they just like
to have an excuse for the fun of your beating. Good clean fun -- you
have to love it.

Depends! Around 1985 a bicyclist cut me off and I almost hit him. So
I chased him down, held him and called the cops. They cited him for
riding a bicycle under a pedestrian signal.

Twenty years later I'm seriously suffering from the combination of
childhood polio and arthritis. If a bicyclist thinks they can make me
cry they will have to do it while plugging their bullet hole with one
finger.... though a Glock generally puts one completely down ;-)
