lights too bright, too many ninjas, blinkies, not enough trails, too many runners, headphones, snow removal, bollards, poor signage, no warnings, too many warnings, bells, no bells, passing too close, intersections of doom, cops doing nothing, tax money wasted….. and now Kitties are a menace…

You forgot the great fender kerfuffle of 2014.

This.

You: Guy riding bike on the MVT just north of the Crystal City Connector.
Me: Right behind you after turning onto the trail, waiting patiently to pass you while a couple cyclists came by from the other direction.
You: Smoking. :confused:
Me: Lungful of second hand smoke. 😡 Not what I expect when out on the trail. I’m an ex-smoker. I get it. I try not to be a rabid anti-smoker. But, seriously, please NOT on the trail.

Ugh. I’ve seen you sitting on the side of the trail smoking before. I’ve given you a pass on that. I’m glad you ride your bike. But people don’t even have to breathe your smoke at a bar anymore. They certainly don’t expect it while riding their bike to work.

Sexism! Cops making threats! Smelly bags!!!!!

[jabberwocky]

Me: riding home last night well after dark.
You: Giant work truck apparently frustrated after being behind me for 15 seconds.

I get the frustration, but throwing what appeared to be a bottle of water at me really didn’t get you home any faster. And your aim sucked.

Smoking on the trail! Truckers throwing water bottles!

(sorry, had to do it)

[The Ghostbusters try to convince New York’s Mayor to let them go and face the ghost threat all over the Big Apple]
Peter Venkman: Well, you can believe Mr. Pecker…
Walter Peck: My name is “Peck.”
Venkman: Or you can accept the fact that this city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
Mayor: What do you mean, “biblical”?
Ray Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath-of-God type stuff!
Venkman: Exactly.
Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the sky! Rivers and seas boiling!
Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes!
Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave!
Venkman: Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats, living together! Mass hysteria!

I keep my chain well oiled so that come the Zombie Apocalyse, there will be no squeaks to give me away.

And, yeah, I’m gonna ride on the sidewalk.

Me (spoken aloud): Holy… Buck.
You: Literally, a giant buck in Belle Haven Marina near the MVT.
Me: Speeding up as I realize you’re actually running in my direction rather than away from me for a solid 50 feet or so.
You: Mercifully stopped short of me by 10 feet and stood there looking like a silhouette from The Hartford’s logo.

Let this serve as a warning to all, it’s deer rut season and they are fearless.

Yesterday morning there was a buck to greet me at the top of the hill astride to Buckthorn Ln on the WOD. It just stood there and watched me as I rode by…didn’t flinch. And I heard LOTS of tromping around in the nearby trees during the last 45 minutes of my ride home last night in the twilight/dark.

I work with a bunch of folks from the Hartford and am going to have a great time letting them know how well their marketing is working when they’re in town next week! Also I wonder if it’d be preferable to be chased by Trusty, the TRowe Price ram!?!
