Absolutely correct by Ice Cream Jonsey 07/28/2014, 7:16am PDT
My gal and I started with the Denver Be Bikes (or whatever it's called, sorry, perhaps Tdarcos can give me the real name). I would drive a car literally everywhere if I could. But I gotta be honest, I need any excuse for exercise. Plus, I have never seen this woman happier than riding a bicycle around town. So why not, right? I feel like a dork on one, but I'm sure the man of her dreams when she was a little kid wasn't a computer programmer. We all make sacrifices for our significant others.

I am definitely the problem on a bicycle in a city. She knows where she's going, has an innate sense of where traffic is and can get out of the way of cars. I'm amazed I haven't been hit yet.

That said...

Everything you said about the scofflaw nature of other bicyclists when it comes to showing a bit of respect to the road or other people is correct. When I am on one, I'm an idiot, I get that. When I see people who have obviously been riding one for years pull dangerous shit, as opposed to inexperienced shit, I'm just stunned that there isn't news of them being splattered daily. What a bunch of assholes for the most part.
