    I just love to shout out the acronym "gotpha" (get off the phone a******) or "gotphi" (get off the phone idiot) at people in cars when I ride by or as they pass me. Doesn't affect them but it makes me feel better.

    I do wish texas would start applying some no texting or cell phone or hands free driving rules in areas other than selected school.zones.

    and he had the balls to tell YOU to watch where YOU'RE walking?? WoW!

    I swear, I just have that feeling I will be killed or maimed one day by a distracted driver (either texting or talking). Don't mean to sound gloomy, but I've had close calls in the past and since I have no intention of ever stopping riding my bike- I fear the situation will only keep getting worse. People just don't pay attention when they drive (and I've been guilty of that in the past myself). I don't use the phone in the car anymore at ALL. I'm not that important that a call can't wait 10 minutes.

    marni- with yelling "gotpha"- LOVE it.
