I am tired of getting yelled at and having things thrown at me by passing cars. I am scared I am gonna getting maimed or killed on some of the back roads that I ride.
I don’t like reading here about how I'm a pusssy because I use a third chain ring, or I can't be a real rider cause I have a compact frame geometry, or if I'm still ridin' using my MTB shoes, and I don’t wear the lycra shorts than I’m a friggin’ moron.
Why can't I be accepted into the sport simply because I enjoy it. I am contributing the advancement of the sport by flowing dollars to the various manufacturers of cycling stuff? If new people are discouraged from entering into the sport because they are intimidated, then dollars are not infused back in, and technology and R&D efforts are scaled back to an absolute minimum.
I am simply frustrated to the point that I want to quit, sell my bikes, and join a gym.
