Dear country road car driver,
Hey, it's me, the cyclist you decided to decided to scare the !#$%&* out of this morning. I know you probably think you're doing me a favor when you lay on your horn as you speed past me, but to tell you the truth, it only puts me closer to spending the night unconscious in the ditch. Don't worry about me though, I am just glad you got to save three additional seconds on your way to work by refusing to use the other side of the road to pass me. Instead, you think that laying on the horn a fraction of a second before your '88 Chevelle buzzes my ear does the trick. After all the next car coming on was so close at about 2.5 miles away. So again, thanks for getting my heart rate higher, and next time don't bother using the entire wide road, just go ahead and finish your doughnut as you swing by me like Goose and Maverick.
Sincerely,
Your fellow road occupant

And you wonder why I worry when you are only a measely 15 minutes late! That's why! Morons. My guess is he was probably texting too.
ReplyDeleteBe still my heart. Soooooooo scary. I'm sending good vibes to heal your psyche from this careless driver ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
ReplyDeleteAnnoying & frustrating. IL drivers sound just like CA drivers---careless & dangerous around cyclists. We need the counties to put up "Share The Road" signs---it helped on our rural roads in CA. Glad that you are ok---take care.

Scott, Best of luck to you in the home stretch of training. I spent a week in Kona in July. What an amazing place. You will absolutely love being there and competing with the best of the best. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteI once had someone in a car throw a bottle off my back during a ride. Crazy people in this world.
What a complete a-hole; so sorry that someone else needed that space. Let's hope he had a flat tire that day or bounced a check. Mom
