Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin

I used to endure quite a bit of yelling running on the sidewalk of a busy college town. Now I hear quite a bit cycling, although not every ride. Yesterday we got "Hi people on bikes!" from a wooded field. We both smiled knowing it was some mischievious little boys we saw last week. They don't harrass us just do silly things like launch water balloons at goats.
I tend to think the people who yell and cuss are projecting the anger they have at themselves for not being active. They know no matter what we look like we are enjoying ourselves and they are too weak (mentally) to challenge themselves. At least that is what I tell myself, difuses my own anger and just makes me feel like bit sorry they are not out there.Amanda

Awesome! I'm putting those on the back of my helmet. If it keeps cougars/mountain lions away- fine. I'm more interested in drivers and other riders. I mean, how can you not laugh and smile when seeing that on the back of someone's helmet. Maybe they'll laugh and not run me over (or maybe they'll laugh so hard they'll run into me... hmmm...)

I think AggieAma has it right- they're just mad because me cycling makes them feel bad about themselves and the bully in them feels better to take it out on me.Check out my running blog: www.turtlepacing.blogspot.com

I did, and it's lovely. There's a rather poor quality picture of it on the original thread in New Riders now.
