ANOTHER SLAM Ken- Thank you for your article on the Road Bike riders (roadies) in Seattle. While I don't own a road bike, I have been mountain biking for almost 15 years. I know it's difficult for people such as yourself (more specifically, old, stubborn, depressed, no news worthy story holding aging feeble minded elderly men) to do anything but complain, but it might be worth it to try and dedicate what little life you have left towards enriching other's lives or sharing positive experiences. Heck, once in a while I wouldn't mind seeing a few roadies get hit by a truck like an armadillo crossing a highway in Texas. However, that attitude usually doesn't endure, and I usually conclude such brief moments of spiteful insanity with a compassionate love tap on my brake pedal to allow a roadie to cross in front of my SUV & live to die another day. In the year that has passed since you "first complained" of those "Dang Bicyclists", what other actions have you taken to reach a resolution? Have you volunteered time to educate riders on how to exercise proper etiquette while riding in the city and on sidewalks, or do you just make snide remarks under your breath as the pass by? Have you offered any assistance to community programs to help educate riders on how to be safe instead of sorry? I'm sorry, what was your answer? Speak up please, it's hard to hear an elder statesman mumbling through his lips trying to defend a seemingly pointless point of view. If your unsure of the definition of the word "volunteer", please pick up a copy of Webster's at a local bookstore. My guess is you haven't had a chance to take such helpful measures, which would be a pretty accurate guess since I am involved in such activities and I haven't seen you around any of them. Thank you for your time and I apologize if this email is a bit harsh, and based on your attitude in your commentary, I'd say we're even. Not all bikers are roadies and not all texan's are cowboys. I thank Lance Armstrong for the insipiration and motivation to see that roadies are people too.

This is a letter some dude from the local mountain bike club wrote after I posted the link on the list serve Ken, They're still out there. Still running sentences together; still scattering grammar to the wind; still cutting phrases off in abrupt blurts; still ignoring the laws of common English. Yep, those damn illiterate editorialists are still out there. Do you write these things on the toilet? Do you have a laptop in your car that you use to pound out three-word phrases in-between traffic lights? Or do? You talk? Like this? In real life? It's quite enough that you subject the KOMO audience to idiotic rants on the most banal and trite of subjects (golly, I've never seen motorists do dangerous things when cops aren't around), but you go that extra mile by presenting them with the oratory skills of a two-year-old. Jeez, it's not like I'm expecting New York Times Op-Ed here, but I'm sure you guys have a grammar book lying around there somewhere. Do you work for Fisher Communications or Fisher Price? Definitely not a fan, Kelly from Seattle

AFTER ALOMOST 20 YEARS OF RIDING, 3 OF THEM AS A MESENGER IN SEATTLE, THESE OBSERVATIONS ARE RIGHT ON THE MONEY

Yo Ken HE IS AND IDIOT, IGNORE HIM. I was thinking of writing a nasty letter, but said fuck it, it would just inflate his ego.

Ok, it looks like it wont be too hot for slabs this weekend. Looking for partner Sat or Sun with Sat being the better day. Haven't been climbing much so I can't lead the hard stuff. MT biking is my new thing thes summer. I have been both places many times. I live in Seattle and don't drive. Have rack and ropes.

I think Becks' coment was resonable. If you don't like it then don't show. What the fuck is wrong with that???? Alison is a crybaby. Fine, keep your buzzkill in Seattle that weekend. I am not shure how the the whole thing will go down but I am shure I will have a good time no mater how it's organised. Hold off on your comments untill it's over, then we can decide what was cool and what sucked. If you don't like this one go to Smith or organize another one for later in the month.

Holy shit, what did your kid get himself into???

Don't waste your time, it's full of fat RVers with fat ugly kids. A CLASIC TOURIST TRAP!!!! This is industrial cheese folks, who cares. Spend your time at the beach instead. Don't forget the whole coast is public land.
