Squirted from car drivers

[Meaux]

DH and I were riding on Saturday and we were crossing across a busy intersection. Traffic is supposed to yield on this part so, DH and I started crossing and some other cyclists were coming across from the other way. As we were crossing, a man came barrelling up to the intersection and stopped and then started gesturing at DH and I. DH turned around and stared him down. The man then proceeded to roll his window down and words were exchanged between him and my husband. I get very frustrated with drivers being so disrespectful to riders on the road. Ugh.

Ugh, this is just horrible. It frustrates me that those type of people don't have any common sense to share the road. It's already quite dangerous for us out there...seriously, what is the point of throwing things at other human beings? Grrrrr!!

You know, Fujigirl, I think you've assumed that they think of us as human beings. I honestly think they don't think we are. I have no clue what they think we are, but it's apparently not somebody's sister, wife, mother, teacher, friend, or co-worker. So sad.

WTF?!?!?! Gah.

Aliens? From the planet Trek? Actually I'm from a Specialized planet.

I guess because most of my road rides have been organized MS training rides (I usually just ride the levee), I haven't had anything thrown at me. Since our rides are on sunday mornings, I am leary around churches, heaven forbid they're late to church, and DON'T get in the way when church gets out. Like Boy-in-a-Kilt, I have been offered a cold frosty beer on a particularily hot ride. It looked SO tasty. The Bubba, not so much.
