For some reason, I also get a little bold when I’m on the bike. I commute by bike, so it’s not unusual to get cut off in traffic. When that happens, I usually put an exaggerated look of disgust/annoynance on my face and slowly lift my right hand palm skyward in a motion intended to convey the message, “What are you doing, you idiot?”

I’ve never really had a confrontation, but it does give me some satisfaction!

That’s right….if you feel like a Giant, the vehicles will give you respect. Here’s to everyone giving the “bubble”.

Same here….be sure to let me know about that ride you have coming up in Austin. I can’t wait.

I feel like a giant when drivers, for whatever reason, pass me on the road as if I am one, or stop ten feet behind me at a stop light. The stop light space bubble is the most common example. I don’t know why they do it, except maybe out of an excess of caution at seeing a cyclist waiting for a light in front of them.

Thanks Richard,

I really wish I was a graphic designer, but still working on it. The shadow was the work of my teammate Myron….pretty cool.

I’d love to check out this year’s NAHBS with you….shoot me the good news that you’re coming for it.

Love the image with the shadow – very cool!

I don’t scream & spit too often myself, but the handful of times I’ve directed my ire at a motorist, I wonder how many of them think I’m a total loon because they can’t figure out what they did wrong?

I’m ex British Army, we called Royal Marines “Bootnecks”, you call them Jarheads, either or, whatever, Marines are Marines to me, just blokes with an unexplainable love of “hitting the beach”, my hitting the beach is accompanied by a body board and a BBQ! Go figure!

Exactly…..living on the edge can come in so many variations when you’re on a bike. Fast descents, tough climbs, and soda cans flying at your from a crazy driver. Good to hear from you.

You mean, I’m only 8 stones….hahahahaha. Keep on working at it and you’ll get to exactly the weight you want to be. You are an inspiration to so many and have already done so much. Enjoy it.
