    Mike,
    I am a roadie, that means I ride a road bike on the roads,
    everyday.

    Cars, trucks, and SUV's are also on the roads.

    May I ask, how i can ride without being around SUV's.

    I can't believe you can be so ignorant! Ride the back (residential)
    roads, where there's hardly any traffic. Only a fool would ride a bike
    in heavy traffic. It's bad for your health.

    Another trick is to pretend that you are semi-out-of-control at all
    times (by wobbling and appearing not to pay attention). It scares
    drivers to death, and causes them to slow down (pull to the right
    before they get close).

    Ah, yes, the Mad Do(r)c Method of Effective Road Riding {tm}! Turn those
    2-, 3-hour rides into all-day affairs...AND get killed in the process.
    Brilliant!

    Vous et un maroon.

    Mr. Vandeman has got it exactly right. I can't believe there is another soul
    in the universe who is on my brilliant level.

    Wild Bill, you need to get yourself another brain as the one you presently
    have is not serving you at all well.
