None so blind as those who will not see...

Our entire family of four was out for our morning bike ride today. Nice exercise, promotes family togetherness, conserves fossil fuel, etc. Our rides would probably be more fun for the kids if we weren't such safety fascists...helmets are not optional, we ride as far as possible to the right, etc., etc.

Anyway, we had to spend the last two blocks of our ride hugging the sidewalk with some idiot woman cruising along right next to my Little Guy because she wouldn't pass him. And when, at the last, we had to get over to the left side of the street to reach the crosswalk that goes over the busy street, my husband and I both signaled and pulled left, accompanied by the boys.

So the idiot woman (in a gold Lexus, natch...no offense to any drivers of gold Lexi) pulls up next to me, sticks her head out the window and says "Maybe you shouldn't let your kids ride in the middle of the street, because people could come around the corner really fast and run into them."

All I could do is smile, blink and say "Thanks. I didn't ask you."

(Wondering how, exactly, she expected us to get to the other side of the street without *crossing* the street... oh, wait, I forgot, we shouldn't be occupying the same street space as her fuel-sucking behemoth...what were we thinking?)
