    ooh, people like that make me so mad. "Car lane", my a$$!

    There's a spot on my commute where people park their in the bike lane while dropping their kids off at school (as in, park and walk in!) The other morning I saw a cop writing the line of them tickets. It made my day.

    On a side note, I've found that when wearing my lobster gloves I can flip people that honk at me the bird while making it look like a friendly wave. It isn't hard to smile like they're your best friend when you're doing that!

    Makes you want to carry around copies of your states's Bicycle Laws and Regulations

    Some people have no consideration or even awareness of others.

    It's a good thing it was you, not me in that situation. I think I would have done something that would have um...landed me in a troublesome situation.

    There's too many of these types of things for me to keep getting mad about it. I've gone through phases...at first it upset me, then it made me mad, now it makes me laugh. I quit yelling "Cager!" at them and started yelling "I love you!" at the honkers/yellers. They don't understand what I'm saying either way.

    Great that you're down to one car! So are we. I only use it to take my daughter to swim practice or to her friends, or to visit family out of town. My husband uses it regularly so I leave the oil changes & maintenance up to him. But now when we say "every 3000 miles or 3 months", we know that 3 months will come first! Even 6 months will pass before we put on 3000 miles!!
