cyclist leans against my car at a red light...

[olzed]

I think I would be offended if a stranger walked up behind me and grasped my shoulder for balance while removing a shoe to shake out a pebble. I wouldn't consider my car much different -- even if it's my junky old Saturn with a beautiful patina of road grime. It's just bad manners.

However, if a stranger taps me on the shoulder to tell me my shoe lace is untied, that's entirely different.

Exactly my point:bulb:

It sure didn't seem like it from your first post:

Humility, respect, I don't think so. I think people that do this show no respect. I would have given the bastard an earfull.

They are a danger on the roads.

This activity is normal for you it seems.

This activity is normal for you it seems.

If by that you mean disagreeing with thoughtless statements, then yes, that's normal.

I'm still waiting for you to comment about the brake light. Was it really out?

Yes my brake light was out.

And yes at the time I did thank him. Sorry did not mean to start a car vs cyclist war.

Thant is the best smiley ever. I am still laughing

This is exactly what I would do if a cyclist did this to me.

That trumps my 'smiley'!

Well done.

Now that's funny! Love European commercials!

On a side note: I think we all accept that there are idiots that drive cars and ride bikes.

What's interesting is how some cyclists sometimes over-react to criticism. OK, back to Z stuff!!

That was a great commercial. Now he can finish the job and put the car back in drive. J.K.

I thought this ebay item best expresses how some feel.
