Spent the morning with my wife and son, he wanted to ride our neighbor's motorized (children's) tractor.

Then pedaled to my office and along the way a disgruntled motorist trapped in their car felt it would be wise to scream obscenities at me from their car. Normally I'm all for some fun verbal exchanges. Today I just acted as if I didn't even hear them. It felt really darn good, The Ignore might be my new move in such situations. Not one where someone is operating their vehicle lawlessly and endangering me, I'll speak up then, but just some jerk casually screaming at people on bikes?

It's comical to me though. Does somebody think a person out enjoying a bicycle ride, getting some exercise, not relying on a a car is actually going to care what they want to scream at them? I sure didn't.

I also always want to ask, Hey, how many cyclists did you have to wait for? Or yield to? Or not drive into today? Oh, just one! Guess how many motorists nearly killed me by driving illegally?

Anyway, big smile on my face for my entire commute for just ignoring them!
