While driving, I recently saw a cyclist - forgive me, a BICYCLE RIDER - blowing a snot rocket. Disgusting....

One in particular is I forgot to remove my cycling helmet and was driving around with the top down on my convertible- only realized the helmet was on when the driver next to me started snapping photos.

Lots of thoughts on this pic...

Can even cyclists not resist the urge to play on their phones while driving? Good lord.

I don't think you're doing anything wrong. I see the photo, and it seems most others do too. I suspect it's to do with the settings that Tony has for viewing.

Yes, it's a setting I think as I can now see the picture on my phone. Several months ago I installed Net Nanny on my computer as my granddaughters use it often so this my be the problem.

Hi JTBadge - this is an assumption I was driving.

Not something I saw, but something I did.

While in the Air Force as a security policeman, I had to qualify regularly with my M-16.

We usually met at the cop shop and carpooled to the firing range in a squad car.

I usually rode my bike to work. I arrived at Bldg. 208 only to find they left without me.

I merely took my weapon from the armorer, slung it over my shoulder and rode my bike across the base to the firing range. Combat boots don't fit in toe clips well.

I often see people driving around with a passenger having their feet on the dashboard. If they get in a crash, that airbag will turn their lower leg bones into powder, probably requiring amputation.
Stop doing that.
