Had an interesting experience today. I was riding the trace with my wife and kids, and I had a guy in a mini-van run the stop sign at one of the road crossings. He and I approached the intersection at about the same time, I braked and stopped, he looked at me ( while still rolling at approx 15mph), hesitated for a second, then punched it. Now I want to make it clear that it was a 4-way stop. It really ****** me off because I had my kids with me. Luckily, I tend to go ahead of them and make sure the road is clear, or I make sure they stop for whatever vehicle is coming. I really would have liked to "talk" to that guy, you know, a one on one, heart to heart kinda talk, but I would have had to leave my family to chase him down. I also learned about the "elite" cyclists, you know the type, pro team jerseys, carbon fiber bike, etc, the ones that pretend that you're invisible when you encounter them on the path. I must admit, they are the minority around here though. I met up with six road bikers today on the trace, four of them nodded or waved, two of them decided a fellow cyclist wasn't worth the effort. That kind of attitude is sickening and unnecessary. Reminds me of Harley riders.
