Well, I don't quite share Terry's hatred of cyclists. Live and let live
and all that......

However, has anyone mentioned the cyclists from hell who

       DON'T USE F****** LIGHTS AT NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here in CA these seem to be about 90% of the bloody peddlers.  If I hit
one of these invisible bastards, not only will I get a big dent in my
car, but if I'm unlucky enough for them to live they'll probably sue me 
for $5,000,000, even though they're at fault. If I hit them, I'll have to
back up and make sure I finish the job off.

Disclaimer: I've got nothing against the day cyclists and those 10% who do
use lights at night.

Cheers, mark dunster

P.S. Does any own that squashed black cat on I-15 between I-5 and I-805?
Sorry about that.
