Yeah I can't imagine why people can be such dicks on the road, scrubbing all that fur and lycra out the grill can be a real P.I.T.A.

I just think it is kind of weird with that "in group-out group" stuff. No matter how you look at it, from a driver's perspective we are getting away with something.
The driver's "four wheeled freedom machines" are stuck in traffic as we cruise by and it angers them.

I know that my Grandpa Gets mad when there are cyclists in the road. He hates it when we ride in groups, because we like to socialize when we ride, so we ride side by size, rather than single file, thus going into the traffic lane, but not enough that there isnt enough room for people to get by.. I think alot of poeple get mad when Us cyclist get in "their" lane and go slow or something
I think people need to suck it up, and not be in so much of a hurry all the time.
