I tell you what. As soon as bike paths go everywhere that roads do, I'll get off the road.

And I'll drive my big ass SUV through the park?

Cyclists who choose narrow winding roads with no shoulders to ride on deserve it when they get hit by cars. I'm not even kidding.

Narrow winding roads with no shoulders? You mean like out in the country, where a touring cyclist might get to see a little scenery? You can't wait the 30 extra second to pass politely?

There are assholes on bikes the same as behind the wheel. And some of both sorts don't have consideration for traffic. But for the rest of us, I'd like to think we can learn to share the road.

*checks map* Whew. I think I'm safe from LJ.
