Park police disturbs me

He works from home, so he's not part of the traffic problem.

I've got the luxury of having nice rolling countryside a few miles from my house, so I avoid riding near cars as much as possible. It's just unpleasant.

it always tough to hear people upset with your city when they are usually a part of the traffic problem (not always, of course! There are a *few* who walk, bike, or take public transit sometimes, but it is not easy here!).

I think there are some relationship issues between motorists, cyclists, and the city (remember we have crazy sprawl and insane traffic. We are always at the top of the "bad city pollution" lists).

That sounds nice!

I only find humor in the cop being swallowed up by the peloton and waving his arms around like he was swatting at bees because I can SO see it happening. It isn't funny at all except in the absurdity of it....like a cartoon.
I don't think we have any "racerati" here....we have inconsiderate people, and bike snobs (of which I can sometimes be one if I don't keep myself in check), and ignorant people and sometimes just people in the wrong place at the wrong time. I make fun of my SO because he shows up to ride his MTB in full road kit, he makes fun of me because I ride my nice road bike in a t-shirt (I personally cannot stand to have my body used as a billboard like he does).
I generally think rude riders, like rude motorists, rude people, whatever, are the exception, not the norm.
Now who says all cops are jaded and cynical?
