Rick Derringer Said So

There are times however, 
when I’m on my bike, that I 
don’t feel welcomed by 
others on the road.

Sometimes, it goes well beyond 
a feeling of being unwelcome, 
it feels like loathing or hatred even. 
It feels…well…horrible.

Once, a while ago, someone 
threw a cup of tobacco spit at 
me from a car window. . . 
at that moment, I had 
some hatred myself.

I feel like if I were on the 
side of the road, putting along on a tractor…



…or a horse, that I would be 
tolerated…celebrated, even! 

On the bike I feel…
dare I say…un-American
