So now it is actually a crime to harass cyclists. This will be interesting. Maybe impatient or hot headed drivers will just run ' em down instead!?!?

Link? What are you talking about? I'm guessing some new law passed where you live?

I remember riding my bike down the shoulder of the road, and a car behind me got real close so he could slap me on the back of the head as he passed.
I don't ride a bike anymoer.

I did not experience any pain. My point is that riding a bike on the street is too much like having a target on your back.

Where I live we have no sidewalks, and lots of traffic. We do have lots of interconnecting trails though.
Balducci That is why I reccomended you to use the local train to go to the Reading terminal market. If you give me a call I'll meet you there, and buy you a DeNick's Italian hot pork sandwich too.

My buddy had another friend who moved to New York and his car stereo kept getting stolen. So he glued razorblades to the back of it.
Wow, that's literally a "Friend of a Friend" story.

I was riding up a street once when a van for a company that made gutters drove up past me. The guy in the passenger's seat decided it would be fun to lean out the window and scream really loud at me! I didn't have a pen on me (which I do now when riding) or I would have gotten his license AND the 800 number on the back of the van!

Well that occured to me. His risk though, not mine.
