To the Biker Who Told me to F*** Off

I believe your words were, "F*** off! You're supposed to stop!"My reply, in short, is "STFU, asshat."You don't know me. If you did you would know I am in favor of cars sharing the road with bikes.I don't know you. If I did I'm sure I'd be more concerned about you a) not wearing a helmet and b) bikin...
