Pet Peeves

Dude I TOTALLY hear ya on the biking.. the shit and the people who walk. I've had so many close calls with telling them where i'm going to pass them i just dont bother anymore for their safety. When I get bitched at for not telling them.. i either lock up the rear and slide around to block the path and have a convo with them about being rude or i say "HAVE A GREAT DAY". The later has only twice but i would love to do it more often, people shit their pants when they see you stopping.

Or if you cut it real close you tap the rear and slide over towards tehm as you come up behind them and the just jump right out of the way.. try it!

Woo, my first post in over a month.

Maybe I should try that.....I imagine huge tire marks running up their backs from riding over them....damn pedestrians.

I see lots of bad press about bikers being "rude" on the trail and stuff, they offer all sorts of tips on how to be a more curteous trail rider such as telling people which side you're passing on, etc. But NOBODY TELLS THE DAMN PEDESTRIANS ANYTHING! It doesn't matter if I tell them where I plan on going, if they're not paying attention or can't tell the difference between right and left, it doesn't make an ounce worth of difference. Also the pedestrians should be educated on how NOT to walk on the perfect line.

*sigh* I'll just keep dreaming about those tire marks on their backs.....

I should ride today.....too bad I have a half hangover and I'm tired as hell from 3 hours of sleep.
