    Sigh. I just had to get that off my chest.
    Too bad for him that others want to enjoy the oudoors. Jerk. People who are snobs about any kind of sport annoy me. Those kinds of folks are just so into "me" it's sickening.

    Reminds me of the story "Dave and the Bike" on Vinyl Cafe (audio/podcast). A bike zealot learns his lesson in a most unique way. Absolutely hilarious!!!

    Was biking today and thought about this thread. I made a point to smile and/or say "good morning" or "hello" whenever applicable.

    Kerry - I'm a huge fan of the 'Dave' stories, but 'Dave and the bike' is absolutely one of the funniest!!
