I'd have pissed over the edge and given him a splatter as payback for bad fashion and the traffic rudeness these uniformed clowns subject to those they are supposed to be sharing the roads with.

Since I didn't see any {sarchasm} tag I'm going to assume your ignorant little diatribe was serious.

re: the "bad fashion". Until you've actually tried bicycling for extended periods of time you won't see the advantages the "bad fashion" suits have for cyclists. I would agree that some of the color schemes are ridiculous but they tend to be a lot more comfortable than riding around in a tee shirt and baggy shorts.

re: the "traffic rudeness". It cuts both ways buster. For every rude cyclist out there there's at least two ignorant motorists who don't know the rules of the road when cyclists are present. I've seen some crazy and rude cyclists in my time but I've seen crazier and ruder motorists.

And it's usually some fat f*ck who couldn't walk a block to the nearest McDonalds for a super-size extra value meal.

The "rules of the road" are the "rules of the road" whether or not there are cyclists present. What most arrogant bicycle riders don't realize is that, in a match up with a automobile, they will lose every time. Not moving to the side to let a car pass because, "It's my road too" is a one-way ticket to a Darwin award.

The next cyclist I see actually come to a stop at a stop sign will be the first. The vast majority don't even slow down. Not to mention riding the wrong way down a one way street and other blatant violations of the rules of the road.

{sarchasm} It's spelled "sarcasm", mr. heavy metal. you should have checked, head-banger.

As far as the rules of the road go, one should not check their common sense before entering such a domain. Cars and trucks can hurt bicyclists somewhat more than bicyclists can injure cars and trucks.

Bicyclists who ignore this physical fact do so at their peril.

I operate a 210' ship. There are many, many times I've had the right of way over a 1000', 25 kt. container ships during crossing situations at sea.

I wisely chose to give way as he had the true "Right of Weigh".

You got that right. I ride usually about 1500 miles/year, and there are more than enough ignorant jerks on the road to suit me. Seems like the dump trucks are the worst. Most times they have plenty of room to move over, but they choose to miss you by 2 feet. They see bicycle, they get road rage. Idiots. Just as bad though, are the pack-rider bicyclists who hold up traffic. They are also ignorant, arrogant jerks. I'll stick to riding alone, or in single-file small groups.
