Geez Troy, like there isn't enough anger on the bike path? We have to have it here, too? And "Joy Cardin"? Who the heck gets upset about Joy Cardin?

Fyi, you're not the only one using the road..but judging by the plethora of "I"s and "me"s..(8 times in 2 lines!) in your its all about you posts you could care less....your kind of behavior and narcissistic bent is what gives cyclists a bad name...it ain't all about you. Enjoy your Joy Cardin and be safe.

I hear that! I say, choose your life. I personally work outside, so I get sensory joy during my work day. Some days when I don't feel like biking the same ol' 7 miles to work, I can tell myself, "well, Joy Cardin will get me there today". I certainly don't' use headphones everyday! That would be boring too. I think a lot of you would be surprised, that with some careful observation of the person you are approaching, it's pretty clear if they are going to change direction or not. You could save those thumb muscles and not annoy the person in front of you with 50 bell rings. I think it would be more dangerous if I had to slow down, turn around and say, "okay, I heard your bell rings. You may now safely pass and I will stay in my lane." Just assume the person hears you and proceed carefully. Just one opinion. But it's interesting and sad to know there is so much anger on the bike path. kris From: Mark <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2012 11:49 AM Subject: [Bikies] Subject: Re: Courtesy or Nuisance? What I don't understand is why we need to fill every available second with some media stimulus? Although traffic noise is out there, I take advantage of my time commuting on my bike to absorb the world and listen to my thoughts. sometimes that includes thoughts that are sparked by odd things I see (like motorists and peds doing dumb but entertaining things). Often by things like shore birds, light, temperature, frost on the trees, etc. Our brains need more 'down' time, and biking is perfect for that. I measure response using my bell. Rung 20 yards back Rung 10 yards back Rung 5 yards back Rung immediately behind the running/walking/biking person wearing head phones/ear buds and no response. That is a dangerous situation.
