Bikers are uptight because it can be a very dangerous sport.
BTW, I don't bike around automobiles. I ride at state parks where there are no cars. And I ride on trails where there are very few hikers.
Talking last night with fellow cyclists about how we are less inclined to ride on the road these days. Many motorists think bike belong trails anyhow, but then you have situations like this. If I nearly hit someone’s child I’d be upset too - but mostly out of fear and Adrenalin than any feeling of entitlement. Hard enough to anticipate the actions of adults with their hearing blocked by headphones or ear buds, much less those of a 3year-old.
I used to see them in a coffee shop in Solana Beach fully decked out with their cleats.
How expensive can those outfits get with the shoes and the gloves, helmet and clothes?
And slow down and let people know when you are coming up on them so they can move.

Hmm, Rooster seems a bit uptight. Calm down and take up knitting. Very safe you know.
