Great stories. Even before I started cycling, I always said the church parking lot is the most dangerous place in the world. Guess everyone was in a hurry to confess their sins

Sorry you had such a crummy ride, but you sure tell a good story!
We don't even take the motorcycles out on Sundays. People just drive too crazy. After Jesus and waffles, it's beer, beer, beer for the rest of the afternoon.

Holy smokes. Don't EVER get between a flea market goer and the market! Yikes. Up in Massachusetts, I used to have to ride 3-miles off my usual route on Sunday mornings to avoid going by this big flea market. People were CRAZY going into that place. Gotta get their bargains!!!

On a related note, back in the days when my brother was waiting tables, he'd always try to avoid the Sunday lunch shift. He always said that the post-lunch crew were the most demanding and lowest-tipping of any he'd dealt with. And I've heard similar things from friends who have been servers... I wonder what message they heard at church, and if anything about service and justice and humility came up...
I, on the other hand, almost always bike to church. And when our bishop sees me coming, he knows I'm going to hassle him yet again to put in a bike rack at the diocesan offices (I've been down there when there have been more than a dozen bikes trying to share a railing that might accomodate 4).... And yes, people think it's weird that I bike to church, but then, I think it's weird that I would drive to a location that's less than 1.5 miles from my house...
