A apology and a thank you to everyone from a cyclist.

Not much if you think about 8 miles a day for just 300 days. In all that time on the road I can only think of one time someone drove close to me and became aggressive. 99.9% of Motorist return my wave or acknowledge my present with a nod of the head. Many times people let me pass when they have the right of way. I dont normally carry a weapon. Sometimes but not very often. Maybe night time in some bad areas but that is very seldom. Drivers for the most part are easy to deal with. For that I want to say thank you. Some cyclist piss me off. I almost hit one last week, night time, no lights, wrong side of the road, Etc. Most of us try not to hold traffic up or become a hazard.
I am sorry I came on too strong. People like Gandi are the exception and not the majority of drivers. Cycling is fun. Break out that old bike and take a lap around you area, you might like it.

You are a good man hallmark. Don't let the likes of ghandi get to you. It is quite obvious that all he is here for is to ruffle feathers of anyone and everyone that he can.

You're welcome.
