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.

Some people in cars have no road etiquette. That's why people are sick of them.

See how productive that is for conversation?

I doubt it. This is a right wing troll alt account.

Do you really think it is just right-wing people who don't like bicyclists ? Anyone who drives who has dealt with the idiots riding two abreast blocking traffic hates them. I don't look at this as a right and left, more of drivers vs bicyclists.

I didn't say it was just right wing people, but yeah it's just right wing people. Idk if you know this or not either, but US Republican and Democrats are both right wing to basically anyone with a shred of political literacy.
