As I pelt him with insults, yearning desperately for a gun, he retaliates with a vicious smirk and races off. The most obnoxious of all are the young brats who steal the car keys from their parents to show off. They have no intention of easing off of the gas pedal.

Another false and illogical claim is that cyclists want to race against the cars. Quite simply, we can't afford it. A bicycle can never compete with a Toyota, even if it's a racing bike. Drivers simply cannot continue brushing us off like insects. If they can only grasp this fact, we may have a chance one day to coexist peacefully.
