Got nothing against cyclists... in fact I do it myself... have to since my feet won't let me walk for exercise. Most of my on-road cycling is to get to the Plano bike trails (one starts near my house, but drops dead in the middle of a field, which then requires a couple of miles of on-road cycling to get to the real trail). The only problem I have with cyclists when I'm in my motorist phase is with the ones that keep passing traffic at lights so that the traffic has to pass them all over again, with all the attendant lane changes and traffic slowdowns that that can cause. After three or four of these inconsiderate acts by the same cyclist, I've even been tempted to stop and correct his attitude... A little courtesy on the part of both cyclists and motorists would go a long way! ...Kenneth
