Steph, it's drivers with attitudes like yours ("I wanted to kill them. Really.")
that have formed my entire philosophy about riding in traffic. I just assume
they're all like you, and that some act of mine, legal (like riding two

little opportunity to put their thoughts into action as possible. Thanks for
reminding me that guys like you are out there.
