There are many things I like about biking. I like my bike. I like going fast on my bike. I like wearing cute bike outfits while going fast on my bike. I do not, however, like biking with Beemers.
Yes, it's most often the Beemers, driven by Orange County sixteen-somethings, that terrorize cyclists on the roads. I've decided that Beemers either a). don't like people wearing helmets and spandex or b). have serious anger issues and need to unleash their aggression while in Drive. Whatever the case may be, Tim and I have perfected the Beemer response. Tim yells expletives while I make an unintelligble screech and wave both my arms at the Beemer operator. I'm pretty sure we grab the attention of every driver except the Beemer operator (because he's already six miles down the road...see what I mean about the aggression?).
Enough about the Beemers though. Tim thought I should tell you that a pick-up truck honked at me while we were on a 70 mile ride last weekend. It must have been the cute bike outfit...
(Thank goodness Ford sponsors Ironman Arizona.)

Love the story! I promise I don't take my anger out on bikers when driving the beemer.... only in my neighborhood. ;)
