Every time I become annoyed by a bicyclist blocking
or slowing traffic, or scaring me out of my wits by
passing me on the right when I'm stopped or turning,
I try to keep a couple of things in mind.
"That bicyclist is helping to keep down the pollution level
in this town, thus helping me to breathe better and
enjoy a better quality life.  That bicyclist is reducing
the demand for gasoline (especially imported) and is
giving OPEC something to worry about."
Say these over and over again, and you'll be amazed
at how your blood pressure drops.  I even smile
at bikers now! :)
