Oh man Taxi drivers are a whole different breed of %$^&.
I'm gonna do this right. Maybe I'll make some internet roadie friends. Who knows.
I just registered with the very real intention of getting fit and losing weight but a little at a time.
Today I pedaled Cronus around that fishing lake 4 times today. I even pedal on that long haul every now and then to get some cardiovascular. But no way can I pedal the whole way.
I'm nice anyway. Maybe I'll get some understanding there and all it could do is help the movement.

I always find it amusing when I hear stories about the spandex crowd looking with disdain on motorbikers- they ride for exercise, then drive the Porsche Cayenne to the store 2 miles for milk at 13 mpg.

Well it's just warm enough now for the recreational roadies to be out there ready to judge all.

Don't worry Large, you're not alone with hating roadies. Around here they basically ride in the middle of the lane because their skinny tires can't handle the beat-up sides of the road. Cagers and motorcyclists hate them. Nobody gives
me problems on mine in fact I usually just get waved at or big smiles
...except from the roadies of course, they don't even acknowledge you're there.

Well thankfully I've had mostly fun and good encounters with roadies. The wind here blows strong out of the south and the road with bike lanes(Davis Blvd) that i love runs North South. One day i was truckin uphill about 25mph into the wind and passed a spandex roadie. He pulled in right behind me just a foot or so away from my rear wheel and drafted for a mile. I felt so cool. No words were exchanged just smiles and waves since he kept his head down into the wind.
A few weeks ago, the guy i built a bike for asked me to take him riding, so we got on Davis Blvd. After 5 miles he was ready for a break so we pulled into Quicktrip to get some drinks and talk. There was the most beautiful roadie there. Pink top and white spandex shorts, pink helmet and diamond heart earrings. A curly blonde ponytail and sweet blue eyes. Eating yougurt and drinking vitamin water.
The 3 of us visited for 20 minutes talking about motoredbikes and she typed motoredbikes.com into her pink cell phone. "Oh I could never build one of those" she said, but it will be interesting to see the site. Mike said "Scott built this for me, I bet he would do it for you."
I knew nothing about bikes before MBc, so when I saw she had a Cannondale, I sounded somewhat intelligent. You can bet that silly MBc grin on my face grew 3 sizes that day and my chest was puffed out all the way home.
I'll have to say my heart was getting good cardio then.
Well Large, I guess we both did good keeping our hands to ourselves.

I haven't ridden any scenic trails on my bike yet. I've just used mine to run around town. I haven't cranked my SUV in weeks. All of the roadies I have encountered say things like "Wow! Is that an engine? That's cool! I need one of those".
Mine are frame mounted kits and they really do look cool. Cool counts. It's a novelty around here where half of the population own a Harley Davidson or a crotch rocket.
Most of the roadies ride their bikes out of necessity. With gas prices skyrocketing, they're broke. Unfortunately, most are too broke to buy one of my bikes.
The problem I have is with cars. Every day someone pulls up behind me and blows his (or her) Horn at me. I haven't figured out if they are just trying to let me know they are there or if they are being rude, so I try to avoid flipping them off!
The cops have stoped me a couple of times just to tell me how cool my bike is. As more people se these bikes out there, the novelty will probably wear off. Until then, it's very chic!
