Shaking my head :

So, was driving to a family get together this afternoon. I live out in a rural area - lots of two lane curvy roads, wood lots, farms. Very nice for driving.

Except for the Bicycle riding idiots who have become a plague in recent years.

Now, I ride a mountain bike, and think its great exercise. But we all know this idiot : $2000 bike, designer<b> spandex </font></b>outfit, and an attitude to match. They hop on their bikes, they think they own the world. Every day, they think they are riding in the freakin' Tour de France, 4 and 5 abreast. At 25 mph. On a two lane country hwy, with no passing zones....and they go out of their way to be rude,belligerent, and just plain stupid when it comes to road courtesy.

So i am driving with my oldest , we come around a curve..and here are two bikes, riding damn near in the center of the road. I slow down and move to the center line so they can see me...and they flip me off!! I follow them for 5 minutes, and they are laughing their asses off and slowing down....and I can't pass. The second we hit a no passing zone..I rev it and shoot past, and they start cussing and screaming....

Now, this would be a footnote were it not for what happened next. A mile down the road, i stopped at a store to pick up some ice. Pulled in. Unbuckled my . As I am walking into the store...Bike idiot #1 comes tearing into the lot..cuts hard...and puts a shoulder into me! And his buddy Pulls behind my vehicle and starts jawing about "bikes have rights..."

I grab my , push her in front of me...and they continue to jaw. If they were , i would have told them to go home. These were grown men, apparently in their mid to late 40's!!!!! Having taken enough, I told these guys to watch the language, as I had a here...and if they wanted to talk, i would be out in a minute. So what do these two tough guys do? One kicks a dent into my rear quarter panel...the other spits all over the side of the car...and they take off...real class, i tell ya...

As I am shaking my head, and the other patrons are laughing at the display...my ( bless her!)..looks at me with a real serious look..looks up the road at the bicycle idiots..and asks..

"Dad...are those Morons?"

Out of the mouths of babes!
