Not so very long ago, the Badger may have leapt aboard that mighty war wagon and become its hood ornament. But since you don't know us, I'll just say that we're both small and in our 50s.

We already know I'm on one extreme end of the spectrum. I like and admire them. And many people would be in the middle of the spectrum and still others on the extreme other end. But I just can't wrap my head around why cyclists arouse such animosity.
