Then why continue spewing it? Without proof, it's a myth. It's your
movie. Fantasyland material you created to shift the blame for
drivers' ****ty attitudes.

And I'm saying that's bulldadda. A figment of overactive imaginations
on the part of persons who, without having any direct experience,
decided CM is a bad thing because it doesn't conveniently fit into
their world view.
I gave putznutz a plausible out by suggesting he may have been
reacting to a sticker or just a random self-righteous asswipe on a
mission instead of suggesting, without any proof, that his behaviour
was excusable because he may have at some time past been delayed by a
CM ride in which I may have participated.
Why couldn't his stupidity have been a reaction to some roadies
blatant disregard for traffic laws when they're out training? Or maybe
his panties get wadded over curb-jumping BMX riders. To zealously lay
blame for the caged jerks reactions directly at the feet of CM seems
to be your mission. And you seem to think it's okay to do because 'CM
riders' have an identifiable look you apparently don't like.
