You Can Choose More Than One Selection
Cycling is a funny thing. We're all supposedly united for equal road rights and respect. Within this elusive unity there stems different branches of cyclists. Mountain bikers, roadies, recumbent riders, utility cyclists, commuters, fixie hipsters, messengers, cyclo-tourers and the list goes on.
If we're all united, there has to be a common denominator among what irks you about other cyclists when it comes to blocking our push to become an accepted form of transporatation. Think about it, riding a bike is an "alternative" form of transportation just like walking is considered "alternative." What? Most people learn to walk by the age of 18 months and its taken millions of years of evolution to get us walking upright. How is that alternative? Cycling-most people learned to ride a bike sometime between 6-12 years of age, way before driving a car. This is alternative?
Anyway, what do you perceive as your biggest pet peeve to our being accepted on the roads?
