1. riding on the sidewalk (it is the rule on this particular road) heading west bound. another cyclist riding eastbound. Big honking tree right next to the sidewalk on my side, open grass on his side. He stays on the sidewalk, so close to the center my arms comes within millimeters of the tree bark. The guy was on a mountain bike.

2. what is it with male cyclists and replica jerseys? Do they think they will go as fast as Lance if they are wearing a postal jersey? is it like the guys who play touch football while wearing an Urlacher jersey? are they aware they look like idiots? am I the only one who thinks they look like idiots?

3. where oh where is my other red castelli glove?

4. on the must ride on the sidewalk rule for this particular road - it is 2 miles from my house to the bike path and you are not allowed to ride in the street on the most direct road between my house and the path. there is sidewalk only on the north side of the road for half the distance and only on the south side of the road for the other half.

5. finally, to the woman putting her wheeled cross country skis on - there was a rectangle of pavement adjacent to the path immediately to your right. Why, oh why were you bent over in the middle of the path putting your silly skatey things on?

vents done for today.
