Road Rules




Let me take a minute to vent about something so simple that just really pisses me off. As I am sure that no one cares but who knows, maybe there are a few out there that agree with me and want to run over bikers or maybe I'm just freaking nuts and need to be medicated. There are just a few things (okay that's a lie, there are alot, but most I don't honk and cuss at) that really irritate me besides people who can't work the self check out. (That's a whole new blog.) One of those few things are people who ride bicycles on the street when there is a perfectly good sidewalk next to them. #1....HELLOOOOO!!!!! we live in Memphis and as we all know people can not drive in Memphis and probably 1/4 of them have no insurance. So with that in mind doesn't that make these bicyclist kind of suicidal anyways? I hate that I have to slow down, turn my wheel slightly, or make any kind of adjustments to my driving because there is some (or numerous) idiots riding their bikes ten feet away from the sidewalk. What's that about? What's wrong with the sidewalk? And do you know that there were about four mid age males riding their bikes down the street the other day parrell to me. I came up on a red stop sign and just as changed to green I accelerated and almost ran into the four males because they thought they had right away I suppose and cut in front of my cars in the middle of a busy street. Of course, I honked and cursed them (with the window up although I'm sure those words can be lip read.) Then the males all flipped me of together. This was a joint flipping off which I don't think I have encountered. Then nerve. They were driving on the street in a bike, NOT A CAR, and tried to pass me and I'm in the wrong?
