I grew up on a house on a hill , steep drive ways all around the cove , it was not un commen for a car that was a streight shift to roll down a drive way running into what ever it just felt like ,
Once some friends and I watched it happen in slow motion ,
Slow roll , then it hit the hill and WHOOSH , SMASH !!!! Right into a caddy !
We lost a few lite ploes that way .

A ploe with half the calories and all the taste of a regular ploe. Less filling, too.

Ok, I know I am probably a very, very sick person that is most certainly on a direct path to Hell........ but did anybody else do the inappropriate giggle when the person got hit?

I run 5-6 days a week. I have no trust in any driver out there. Anyone who runs with their back to traffic is a fool. I'm always amazed at the hosility I will encounter when running. I trust no one. I run behind cars I know are intentionally trying to let me pass in front of them. I won't make eye contact. What I'm doing is not a social event. I can not allow myself to get into a guessing game with drivers. I allows assume they have the right of way. And sometimes when you refuse their gesture they get angry. But I don't want to be street hamburg.

You're on "their" roads, acting as a distraction. How dare you jog along side a piece of infrastructure designed only for automobiles! How dare you threaten their way of life, their commute, their livelihood!

After being run off the road several times (even while riding in the designated lane), I think it might be worse on a bicycle.

You're right....pedestrians are annoying but basically squishy with no sharp corners. On the other hand, you bicycle bums are a menace, with all those hard parts and sharp corners. Why you could scratch my paint or even blow out my tire when I run over you, which is pretty damn inconsiderate.:p
