As a Libra, I love it when justice is done. It's the same as when you see someone in a car weaving around traffic and going fast. Jealousy. They wish they could be doing that, and it sets off that little road rage gene we all have.

Real tough guy, huh? Probably get your rocks off breaking people mirrors. Those who ride bikes as if they had half a brain don't get into trouble. When you're splitting lanes at 50 mph while the traffic is slowed to 35, a driver can look in second and see everything clear, then suddenly a bike is flying past. Bikes are also easily hidden by normal blind spots. I really doubt people are doing those things if you were riding sensibly. You're probably one of those idiots I see weaving in and out of cars at 20-30 mph faster than the rest of the traffic. When your time comes to get whacked by a car or truck, all that crap you wear isn't going to help a bit. Dr Evil. . . You had my attention to a valid concern for those in general who ride bikes in traffic until you started in with the low life version of a biker with the threats of kicking A_s and weapons. Right then you put yourself in the negative catagory of bikers who give legitimate riders a bad name. If that's the mentality you have when it comes to dealing with this issue, then you lost me and any sympathy in your particular case. You put yourself in the same class as the guy you claim ran you down. I have ridden bikes on many occasions, including traffic, with the assumption a driver isn't going to see me. It's foolish to expect them to know you're there, especially when you're moving a lot faster. What can piss drivers off is when they're maintaining a safe distance from the car ahead and suddenly a bike is 4' off their bumper or blasts across without them expecting it. I have no problem if they're splitting lanes or changing lanes at a speed where I can anticipate or they indicate what they're doing. When I know they're coming, I'll even move over a little and give them more room. It is the law that lane changes are suppose to be indicated by arm or turn signal before making the move so others know what you're doing. It's not jealousy, because drivers don't mind the legitimate riders. It's tense enough being in traffic without getting startled by some jerk making it their personal slalom course. Dr E I'm very proud of the fact our attitudes don't match. Just because we ride bikes doesn't make us brothers. I have more important things in life than riding. It doesn't define who I am. You just seem to be the biker version of road rage.

And the fact that you wear all the armor you described doesn't really help if you get hit by some giant tank going 70 mph. Their first thought is probably that they could have hit/hurt you and that they would have to pay for it if they got caught! That wouldnt be as big a problem if they'd just put down their cell phones and pay attention to the road! Enjoy your bike, but try to be courteous. . . I don't think that includes anything that involves "loaded weapons". But screaming and swearing is always helpful! Peace&Love

Yeah, they all jealous 'cause we got wheels that are far superior to theirs in coolness. That, and we get the leather jackets and jeans that make us look cooler, while they're all stuck with suits and ties that say " Look at me, I'm an office lemming! " so they gotta feel better about themselves by making sure we don't get any advantages just because we decided to be different from society and go on 2 wheels instead of 4. I swear man, it's a conspiracy!
