I respect that people jog, bike, walk and share the roads and sidewalks with their fossil fuel consuming brethren. What I don't appreciate is when the Green-brigade decides that their lifestyle choices are more important than anyone else's safety.

Most people that jog or bike have a healthy awareness that cars can kill them. They stick to the sides of the road or jog on the grass or sidewalks. However when the weather turns bad, and there's mounds of frozen snow in the way it's time to put away the sneakers and put the bike in the garage. Seriously.

Today I had not one, but two dickheads whose decision to bike put them right into the middle of my lane. Yeah it's not so bad on two lane roads, or something where you can see both them and oncoming traffic clearly, but no - that wasn't the case here. In this case both guys were almost in the middle of the road (probably to avoid the slush and ice) on twisty back roads. I almost didn't see one, and both times I either had to stomp hard on the brakes when they suddenly popped into view, or swerve and hope no one was coming in the opposite lane.

Listen, retards, it's winter ok? Put the damn bikes away, go get a frikken latte and a donut and wait for spring. I'm not really all that eager to die just because you felt you had to get in a bike ride to work.
