So now I'm a yuppie?
Do yourself a favour before you make yourself look even more stupid and
Re-READ my post!
Why are the "hobby/poseur" cyclists the most aggressive on the road? (and off it seems) I don't get postmen riding all over the road and trying to kick my 911. I wonder why?
I don't care if someone is a spandex-wearing, cyclist or a leather-clad biker on a Harley. If somebody wants to try to
damage my car in front of me then they'd better bring their own friggin' army.
I rode mountain bikes for about 15 years and I only gave it up recently when I hurt my back. I wore regular clothes (not the spandex), I
obeyed the law and was courteous and considerate of other road users. To be totally honest, I was also worried about being flattened, which a lot of cyclists don't seem to be.
I think some of these guys have such a complex about what they're wearing, how they look and that they're about to be tooted, that they are primed and ready to explode on the first person that gets near them (see above). I've seen some cyclists damage cars and even kick door mirrors clean off cars. Seems that once they're on a bike, they're a different person. Or maybe not.
I'd love to see them try it on foot or face-to-face.
Jurgen, I was discussing
fact not some fantasy that springs to mind when you feel your hobby is "under attack". Re-read my original post and ask yourself why you felt
you needed to attack
me. I said
"Road cyclists have a terrible reputation - as a result of ass-clowns like that guy". I never said that
all cyclists were ass-clowns.
