I came to The Village’s, bought a home, solely to bike ride…I’m so tired OF THE AHOLES WITH THEIR BETTER THAN THOU ATTITUDE. Never in my 70 years of biking have I heard so many grunts and groans.
Good for you! We plan on biking a lot when we're there as well. I won't put up with those unsafe idiots either. We all have the right to use the MM lanes safely. I'll have no problem telling them to F**k off.

But that said, bikers, walkers and runners need to courtious too.
