i yelled at a biker today
and let me tell you, it felt good. he was riding in the street, so i rolled the passenger window down and yelled, 'you know, there is a bike path!'
i don't know if he heard me, or if he cared (i doubt it, seeing as those kind of bikers think they rule the world), but it sure made me feel better.

well, the main thing is that you felt better (and that you didn't hit him)
Are bikes not allowed on your streets? I know not all of our road rules are the same -for instance, motorcycle helmets- but here bikes have just as much right to be on the road as cars. They're not allowed on sidewalks so the road it is! He could be driving down the middle of the lane and that's just life.
As the wife of an avid biker, please be nice to bikers! :)
we have to share the road with bikers (though i don't think they realize they have to share with us), however, there are some streets that have bike paths, which, i, as a tax payer, paid to (and gave up some of my trees to) create, in the hopes that they would get out of my way (i mean, in the hopes that they would be safe and the world would be green [w/o the trees that they made us cut down], and we'd all be a happy family, kum by yah). i don't drive on their bike paths, i don't see why they think they have the right to bike in my car path.
and that's my soapbox. ;)
like mel said, we do have to share the road with bikers (unless there's a bike path), but the bikers are extremely inconsiderate and expect us to watch out for them as they obey whatever rules of the road they choose to make up.
if they'd ride like they're supposed to, it would still be annoying (because they're so much slower than cars), but at least they'd be following the rules, which would make things safer for everyone.
I agree that bikers can get annoying when they are breaking the rules. As a bike rider wouldn't you just feel safer on the bike path? Especially with people rolling down their windows and yelling at you;0P (Isn't is funny how much better than can make you feel? I yelled at some dork in the car-pool lane last week.)
good job :)
my goodness!
What were they doing?
You guys must yell at each other a whole lot more than we do! I never see anyone yelling at other cars or bikes! :)
maybe your bikers/drivers are better at following the rules.
don't worry, kimmie. i've never actually yelled at anyone before now. i'm an infamous car talker/road rage to myselfer, but i've never actually said anything to the actual person.
:)
I'm just wondering what he did to deserve it.
I'd yell at about everyone if I had to get up at 5 every morning...
believe me, it's hard not to.
