Oh I'm just joshing I respect bikers rights to ride and their need to take responsibility for safe biking but don't ask me to like it because the last thing as a driver that I need is another obstruction to hamper my travels
yes, and I guarantee both of us were out in the middle of the boulevard moving much slower than a cyclist!
