Odd complaint against cyclists in local paper

Someone called into the complaint line of our local paper.

They said they lived on a rural road that is a favorite of cyclists,
complaining that they ride that road three and four abreast. This
makes them narcissists the caller says.

He asserts that this road is a scenic route and is for cars, not
cyclists.

Perhaps he'd be happy to have 1000 more cars per hour go by his house?
Maybe he loves the intoxication of carbon monoxide.

I mean I've heard of drivers complaining they can't pass people riding
two abreast, but I've never heard a homeowner complain he wants more
cars and less bikes using the road in front of his house.

How he figures that drivers in cars see scenery better at 45mph than a
biker going 10-15mph, I don't know.

Maybe the fumes have dulled his intellect. Perhaps they dropped the IQ
test needed to purchase property on that stretch of the road?

IQ has to be lower than the lot size in acres to buy on that street?
It was a full moon on monday too.

If you're are presentative of cyclist from your town, then from the
way your write it's clear that they're narcissists, apart from the
fact that they when they complain it's anonymously, which would make
them wiiesels . Apart from that, it sounds like a real nice place.

I don't follow your logic.How does the way I write make me so, and
what difference does that make? I don't ride abreast with anyone, I
ride alone and not on that road.

In addition, cyclists have been riding that road since the 70s, it's
an obscure route to the top of the mountain. AND, they don' ride three
and four abreast - he exaggerates to make his (nonexistent) point.

Truth is, he should be glad there aren't more cars and happy that a
few (very few these days) riders from the local university team use
that road.

Your "cars bad, bicycles good" style makes you out as a the type of
Critical Mass type cyclist that everybody loves to hate.

I did write the paper. But I get your point. No more of these will I
post.

Look, I'm not excoriating you, simply pointing out that writing something
like that in the racing group doesn't have any real effect. You have to
address the people in charge.
