Trail Riding Gripes

Wow. I'm surprised the author of the Minuteman Rant even bothers to get up in the morning. Get a grip, guy.

I AGREE WITH YOU. I might gripe, but it is still not THAT bad!

OMG, I have never seen that rant, which is surprising because I live about 8 miles from the end of the trail. I haven't been on it at all this season, and when I do get on it, it's during the week, or on cold, cloudy days in the fall/winter.
The writer does sound a little over the top, but, it's mostly true... up until this year, there was a farmer's market at the terminus in Bedford that I would ride to every Monday, while I was in grad school. This was a "destination," for people from the city coming off of the trail. Sometimes I went to the market, just to watch the people arriving on their bikes. A couple of years ago, my bike group had a bike valet parking service on the first day of the market in June, which I manned for 2-3 hours. It was quite an experience.

I was thinking the same thing! I gave up reading the whole thing. Jeez... just stop riding your bike, dude!
