I've been run over by a car, grazed, bumped and honked at. In Durango, CO, where I live we are surrounded by ex-city folk who drive on deserted county roads. They come up on us in a group ride and act like we aren't there. They yell and scream at us, like we are on our way to kill their children. WTF, is right! <br> <br>Walker T <br><img src="http://cyclebetter.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2153" width="1" height="1">
