This is a very short rant
I was riding the other day on the back roads by the river It has a few nice twistys I like to take.
I was just taking my time not that the speed limit is very fast mind you only 20 mph so I was doing like 18mph I stopped at a stop sign completely like I usually do , and I guess I was not paying attention to my rear view as well as I should have I would have noticed a bike coming up fast from behind I had looked back 30 sec or so and no bike but there he was non the less as I stop and put down my foot the blue crotch rocket all most rear ends me he almost ran over my foot as a matter of fact avoiding hitting me If I would have not pulled my foot in it would have been flattened.
The rather large Squid on the bike had on no safety gear of any kind.
as he passes me almost running over my foot he throws out his hand as he passes kind of limp wristed you now like a gay man would like as to say I don't have time for you sugar so get out of my way.
I was so ****ed I was steaming:mad:

I just sat at the stop sign for a min so I could regain my temperament and rode on.
It is people like that that give sports riders a bad name.

Im sitting at a left turn, waiting for traffic to clear. Squidy in a t-shirt, and sandals who is behind me AND a car, decides he doesnt want to wait, splits the lane with the car, then splits my lane on the right, and turns left in front of me zipping inbetween oncoming cars.

Idiot.

I expect to see his mangled crushed bike on craigslist soon.
