It's not the Tour de Whatever, jerk...

Message to the young gentleman who caused me to almost DIE today on the road:

Hey you.... Yeah, you in the silly spandex suit and pointy aerodynamic helmet. What the hell are you trying to prove?

Get you and your bike the hell off the highway*, please. You're endangering people. Worse - you're endangering me.

There are hundreds of miles of cycling trails all over Quebec, and you feel the need to bike on the highway???!!

Christ, tourists actually travel here from all over, just for these bike trails! I pay a shitload of taxes to keep them in tip-top condition for you to ride on.

You know how I have to veer into oncoming traffic in order to not run over your fancy ass? Yeah, that's gonna stop. Next time, you and your shiny yellow top will meet my front bumper. I hope that helmet is as useful as it is fashionable.

Stop taking yourself so damn seriously, asshole, and ride the trails like everyone else.


*A "highway" here is a 2-lane road with a speed limit of about 50-55 mph. It is not a "freeway". A "freeway" would instead be an "autoroute". Just so you know...
