Biking in Traffic

I just have one thing to say to the bike-riders:

"Get the hell out of my way. Now."

If I had the disposable income to afford a good attorney, I'd probably make an example out of some of these people.

Yeah, yeah, I know: You're saving the environment by conserving natural resources & reducing pollution, which is great. It's a very healthy lifestyle choice in the sense of exercise, but it's also a very poor lifestyle choice in the sense that road rage can kill you.

• Getting stuck behind a bicycle on a busy road, with your spedometer barely moving, is unsafe for drivers & cyclists alike.

• It's unfair to subject hundreds of drivers & bus-riders stuck behind you to move at 15 mph or less simply because you're in the way.

• Traffic crawling behind you is increasing pollution exponentially.

• Follow the same rules of the road & most drivers will respect you. Snake through lines of traffic to cut us off & you're just baiting motorists & begging for trouble.

• Most importantly, don't try to "make a statment" of your lifestyle choice. Nobdy cares. All you're doing is turning others against biking & cyclists.
