Default Do you consider yourself a hero or an idiot?

Who says we are idiots?

The idiots are the ones that ignore yelling, honking and all sorts of
attacks out there. Or maybe we are just "tough" like a soldier
fighting for freedom.

However you want to interpret it.

In a land where SUVs rule, it may seem counterintuitive or even stupid
to ride a bike... But a man gotta do, what a man gotta do.

I have been told that I am a hero for riding my bike even after
someone tried to kill me because I was riding a bike, but I don't feel
that way. Hero is someone that died for a cause, also known as a
martyr. There are few heroes in the sports world (maybe Tom Simpson
for cyclists).
