I don’t know why I’m even bothering. I take that back, I do know. I rankles me on some level that people, like yourself, automatically dislike me just because I ride a bicycle. It’s never made much sense to me, and I doubt it ever will.
i don’t dislike you bc you ride a bicycle. if you are in front of me on the @#%%ing road in Northern VA, i can assure you i am Pd O, though. i resent that other people’s HOBBIES impede me in my daily life, i don’t have time for it.
Nobody here dislikes you just because you ride a bicycle. (It may be that you give folks lots of other reasons to dislike you, but we could explore those possibilities on another thread dealing with one of those subjects.) In fact, as long as you're not one of those granola-eating, spandex-wearing, days-without-bathing, hypersensitive, arrogant, condescending Volvo drivers with a bike-rack and a "share the road" bumpersticker and an overblown sense of moral superiority, I don't care if you ride your bike to the moon and back. It won't impact my opinion of you one way or the other (although I guess I'd be impressed if you managed to break free of the earth's atmosphere and gravity pull on your bicycle).
