Maybe if you let him know you have someone waiting in line he'll shape up!

Sure you do....downhill!

Yeah, they look a lot like the two dogs that tried to "pack hunt" me one
Sunday morning while I was out riding. I was going downhill and they came
out of nowhere. One tried to cut me off from the front while the other
looked like he wanted to make a play for my foot. They had me into the lane
of opposing traffic. Luckily, I finally hit their magic line and they
creased. Even though I was going downhill, they had my HRM blinking.

These nice fellows were not pure white, though.

Only now ppl call others names for things because society has become
very rude lately.

But you have learned your lesson and would never do that. /

IMO no one has the right to call *anyone* names.
It is simply a form of abusiveness.

and you would never do that again because you know it is wrong /

It may be his right but it IS stupid. I have a daughter who wouldn't be

My brother is paralyzed on the left side of his body because he gave
his son his own helmet for a family bike ride when the son's was
broken.

Not surprisingly, I feel rather more strongly on the subject of
helmets for bicyclists than I used to.
