Yeah you can spout but c'mon - only a coldhearted SOB would take on the cyclist instead of an immoveable object. Possible exception: if you were going to smack that immovable thing at 50+mph. Even then, I'd probably avoid the biker because I know it would kill them.

Less thoughtful idea: you guys from the great white north ought to come on down to San Francisco for one of the monthly "critical masses" where "fed up" bicyclists take over the streets and block intersections, taunt and insult drivers, inadvertantly bump them making for smart-looking dents and scratches then take off into the mob, etc. It's really a fine time.

Though I think their actions criminal and unjust, I CAN see their point at times, and could go on and on about the drivers around here, related cultural/mental/social issues as well as driver training and testing opinions in this great state, etc - only to get permanently banned from this site so I'll keep that to myself.

My one bicycle story: I was driving wife's SUV and this *obviously sponsored* member of team spandex was right in the middle of the lane cruising at 20mph (in a 35 zone) like he owned it. Traffic was stacking up behind. So after waiting for what seemed like fifty oncoming cars to pass I pass him only to come to a stoplight shortly after. This guy rides up, cleats and all and actually grabs my mirror and leans on it for balance so as to not have to unclip. I was aghast (the only word I can think of).

So I reached out and pushed him over. Boy was he in a pisser mood after that.
