[QUOTE="stevetheupsguy, post: 398533, member: 9662"] You poor guys! Gas, Gas, Gas!!! I say, invest in a bike or a hybrid, or something that will keep you from throwing all of your money into your tank. I went to the gym today, on my bike. 21 miles roundtrip. On the way home, some geezer, (should post his name and phone number on here, for pay back), didn't yield the right of way to me. I almost T-Boned him on my 20lbs, wet, bicycle. I locked em up, fell, and slid to within inches of my life. All because Grandpa wanted to get to I.H.O.P. quickly, so he wouldn't starve to death. Meanwhile, Grandpa weighed in excess of 230lbs, and I'm being nice here. So here I am, writing this post with road rash on my upper thigh and front of my lower leg. Moral of this story? Never assume they see you. Assume they are idiots and yield to them. Better to suck it in and live another day. Yes, I'll still be riding my bike. I will be more cautious though. Funny though, no matter how fast/slow I go.....I still get the same MPG.:happy2: [/QUOTE]
