    Lots of car drivers are angry. And they yell at other cars, too. The other cars just usually can't hear them.

    The other day my sister and I were on a group ride and waiting with the group for some others to catch up. A big truck came up and was angry that we were blocking his route around a road closed sign (!). As we moved out of his way he yelled something unintelligible out the window at us and waved at us with a more easily discernible one finger salute.

    I loved my sister's response.

    She just looked at him and said: "Man, I'd bet that poor guy could really use a bike ride."

    Thank you for this! That is a great thing to think when you see these terribly angry people on the road...maybe it's just bike envy!
