When I’m and old lady I shall wear purple

September 4th, 2006

I was lucky enough to get a bike ride in on this glorious day. I was coming to the end of my 15 mile loop when I pedaled up behind this woman who had to be in her seventies and was moving at a pretty serious clip. Since the path was narrowing and we were coming to a very busy intersection I decided to stay behind her.

At this particular intersection there is a stop sign on the bike path for the bikers and a sign under the stop sign that clearly states that this is not a cross walk and that the cars on the street have the right of way.

Well, the sweet little old lady with maroon dyed hair that was up in a bun and her cute old lady skin wrinkling out from the bottom of her black spandex bike shorts and maroon sports bra must not have read the sign because she just starts screaming out at all the cars passing by at 45 miles an hour “YOU FUCKING CAR PIGS…DAMN IDIOTS!!!”

All I knew at that moment was that this bike ride was not helping her release her inner rage.
