Stop Honking

I'm so fucking sick of cars coming up behind you when you're riding and honking. Are you trying to let me know you're there? Is it your passive aggressive way of saying you hate cyclists. Either way, fucking knock it off! I'm aware of when a car is coming, honking just scares me a tiny bit and makes me jump, so enough already. I suspect the cars that then floor it as they pass are just being assholes.

It was a windy and cold day today. I had my head up my ass when I left this morning and forgot dry (and warm!) clothes to wear after my studio ride as we rode more outside. Fuck, I'm not ready for this cold weather. And I'm certainly too stubborn to turn the heat on in the house, it's only 5 days into October for fuck's sake. I've been too sappy lately in my posts, so the fbombs are back.

Thank you to my friend Tracy for swimming with me on Sundays, keeps me accountable when I'm just ready to be done.

To the crazy lady who decided to sneak in my lane, you're damn right I'm not afraid to splash you with my paddles while you try to keep your hair dry. Go share a lane with the guy that bounces for 10 minutes between laps.

I'm glad Tracy got to witness the Aqua dancer today. This old lady has a lollipop in her mouth and is listening to music while she busts out some Napoleon Dynamite moves in the pool. Oh yeah, she's also sporting sunglasses too. Cracks my shit up every Sunday. Get down with your bad self.

My friend Doozie told me I've gotten so much faster on the bike this past year. Thanks for taking time to tell me :-)

Just proving triathletes aren't always assholes.

  1. Couldn't agree with you more! I hate cars that beep their horn at me (and electric cars I can't hear). One of my big pet peeves when I'm out riding - the stupid honkers. One of these days they are going to startle me enough that I'm going to fall off and land on their windshield. That ought to show them. Take that MFers… now you'll see how much of an inconvenience I am!
