We're not all inconsiderate pricks, any more than all drivers are obnoxious, out of shape, douche nozzles. Have you seen any of them around?
I think you just happen to be lucky and are meeting more of them than you care to. Perhaps you've found yourself waiting for 20 or 30 seconds. On behalf of the less considerate, I apologize. I'm not sure of the laws in your state but here in VA, we're required to ride single file when impeding traffic. Doesn't mean everyone does but those of us who care to obey the law, do so. If the police enforce it as successfully as they do speeding laws, seat belt usage, and a host of others I can see you'd be frustrated.
I have to say, you seem proud to have almost hit one of those non-law abiding riders. What if you happened to have a lapse in attention for 5 seconds while driving your vehicle and a dump truck driver had just missed you. Would you expect him to be proud of scaring the **** out of you, too?
If you aren't a cyclist, by the way, let me invite you to join us! We'd like to help clean up our ranks and you sound like our kind of guy! Do be careful out there.
Best,
Brian in VA
