Gee, I go for a bike ride and then a meeting and come back to all this. Wow! Thanks for all the input. I agree with what was said about checking on someone stopped by the side of the road. What got me about the gal that stopped was that she actually stop! Her attitude was like I WAS lying in the road taking my last breath.

Anyway, I was nice and polite to every call I got and I did try a little conversation with my well wishers on the hills, but they were all going too fast.

I just want to be a person riding a bike like everyone else! I'm sure no harm was intended yesterday. But as many of you have said, you need to choose your words wisely . . . and I guess that's the point I wanted to make.

And I guess I'm a little touchy right now. Spring is in the air and all the idiots who like to yell at bikers are out in full force. I've gotten more than my fair share of them the last couple of weeks. I almost caught one at a stop light. That would have been sweet revenge! bikerHen
