Well, another Yuppie heard from.  Out of 100 bikers,
there is always that one who screws it up for all of the
rest.  Funny thing is, us car drivers only remember the
twit who pulled something stupid.  Personally, I steer
clear of bicycles as that next one is probably the
one twit in a hundred.  My personal grudge is seeing
two bicyclists riding side by side on a narrow street.
It is not only stupid and unsafe, it only causes car
drivers to elevate their blood pressure by 20 points.
I will try to safely get around them, but that guy
in the 10 foot tall 4X4 behind me might not take their
antics so kindly.

"Well Officer, as I tried to pass, they swerved out in
front of me.  Do you think my insurance will cover the
scratches on my fender?"
