First and foremost I want to say again my condolences to those that are friends and family members those those cyclist that were killed in Nevada.*This episode is not about the incident, just altercations from cars and bikes. Also a quote I said was possibly from Denzel Washington might have been said by Frank Lucas.*  I went solo again (please let me know if I am doing well in solo) and really wanted to talk about cars and bikes. There is a lot of issues when it comes to mad drivers and pissed of cyclist, there is no middle ground when the arguing begins. Once lives become at stake it just becomes scary. This is mainly me explaining how bad drivers can be but also how ugly cyclists can be. Once respect is given from one side the other side tends to give it back, communicating correctly can change a heated moment to a calm one.
