man, sometimes i feel like im target practice

[acedog0406]

You guys ever go on a ride and it seems like every car that could possibly turn left across your lane, cut you off, slammed on brakes, etc. does? I watched my friend plow into a car that turned left across our lane from oncoming traffic, totaled his bike awhile back.

Anyway in my experience that is the single most common cage behavior to look out for. be careful

AUSTIN: in particular I have been cut off on the Northloop/Hancock intersection right out front of Fonda San Miguel like 5 times. I dont know what the deal is, maybe its optical illusion that makes me seem far away. But beware of that exchange!!

I've had days like that..actually weeks..

no..

It's more like years like that!!


I was a traveling therapist in the East Valley around Phoenix for almost 4 years. I rode the bike evyerday to my client's homes.

I had a BIG target on me for azzhat drivers, bees and sharp metallic objects puncturing my tires!!

I'll be joining your region soon so I'll be sure to keep an eye out!!

Have had my share of idiot driver near misses here in Houston.

Last week some jackhole decided that she was too important to sit in the line of cars waiting to turn left, so sped up the line and came into my spot without a second look. Luckily the light had just turned green and I had enough acceleration room to gas it out of the way when her bumper filled my peripheral vision.

Don't forget the f*$&ing deer. >

As far as the cagers go, I've always thought it would be a good idea that everyone gets a paintball gun when they drive. When someone is a asshole, you get to shoot them once. If a cop spots a car that has been hit with many different colors (alot of folks identified this driver as an asshole), the copy would then have the car towed away and send the driver off to asshole jail.

Are those small deer around Austin like the other parts of TX?! Man..I almost hit about 10 of them on the trip driving from AZ to FL last year!!

Texas has a healthy population of white tailed deer and further east wild hogs.

I crushed a deer in my car about two weeks ago, did mucho damage >!
