| Why do some motorists hate cyclists so? |
 |
| Is it because we slow you down? Maybe that’s not such a bad thing. |
 |
| Is it because we ride in groups and hog the road? It is a road after all… |
 |
| What about motorcycle clubs? They ride in the road in big groups and hog the road but I don’t see too many folks giving them the ol’ one-finger solute. |
 |
| Is it the clothes we wear? They do have a purpose, and many of the sponsors plastered all over them are local businesses supporting a local bike club. |
 |
| Is it because we weave around the road? Because when I’m riding hard my heart rate is going at least 160 beats per minute…it’s hard to do anything smoothly with a heart rate like that. |

| Not to mention all the crap in the road that I have to avoid: glass, rocks, and sticks, just to name a few. Don’t be a jerk!

 |
| Like ride in the wrong lanes. |
 |
| Like blow through stop signs. |
 |
| Scream through red lights. |
 |
| Ride the sidewalks. |
 |
||
| Or even ride distracted.
Don’t be a jerk!
