So I was driving down a hill and I was going about 30MPH with a speed limit of 40, I was coasting down to the traffic light that was red and here comes this jerk that pulls out of the lane I was in 5 car lengths behind me and honks at me while he was passing me, I honked back and got around to the other lane as I needed that to turn left. So while this jerk was stopped at the light I was coasting right past him as the light turned. He rolled his window down and yelled something but I could not hear anything. I was thinking to myself good luck going past that red light buddy.

Hey Jud,

Thanks, sucks we have to deal with jerks, but I guess it goes with the trade. Do we have a date set for the next meet up in October?

Unfortunately we have no choice but to share the road with the inexplicably licensed. Try to stay away from them and their antics. That's what i try to do on a daily basis. They're worse when you bike. good luck

I hear you on this one. I have my fare share of jerks when I ride my bike as well. All I do is keep my head up and don't let it bother me.

I like to think of them as the uninformed. Just a few weeks ago I was one of those jerks. They are not aware of the possibility of getting such great mpg just by slowing down. Now as for people on bikes, good luck out there. You guys get straight disrespected.

Hi Jud--

I'd like to have one around early September, perhaps around Labor Day or somesuch. What I'd really like to do is try and stir up interest at NKU and see if anyone from there would come, to learn how to save some gas. Depends on how busy everyone is though? I'll have to see how my own schedule makes out.
