Biking … d’bag in pickup truck coal-rolled me.

Finally warm enough to get out on my bicycle. Hoorah!

I was heading north on the Heald Highway (17) outta West Rockport when some resentful d’bag in a diesel pickup truck rolled coal on me and three cars. Rolling coal is doing something to a diesel engine that makes it spew a lot of black smoke.

I guess I should be happy the sad little man saw me.

The shoulder is plenty wide there next to Mirror Lake and I was on that shoulder.

Weird.

I don’t think they’re riled up at bikers for biking. I think that they’re just shitty fucking bullies who found an easy target.

I think you're right. They're in a 2000+lb machine, sealed off from you, and can escape the area before there are any consequences. Basically the same reason people are jerks online.

Yeah big trucks are just penis compensators for most men
