My younger daughter and son-in-law both ride. Some of their stories make a dad want to go hurt someone.

There was a video a couple of years ago where a couple of cyclists videoed an aggressive driver riding right on their bike wheels and intimidating them.

I used to ride on the county roads where I live but have begun just riding the trails. I don't do intense cycling so I don't need long road ways, I just ride for fitness so the trails are fine and I don't have to worry about aggressive drivers or stupid ones playing with their phones.

It's like eating raw oysters. I like them, but don't eat a whole lot of them.

I'll never understand the ones who feel compelled to yell at cyclists who are riding on a broad shoulder.
