Arrogant Pedalcyclists in Action

What's the big deal? It's not any different than the people who do this kind
of thing with motorcycles or cars.

And how are rebates "scams"? They've worked well for me for many years.

That looked fun. Good for them! What they do takes guts and physical
conditioning, something fat ass drivers are utterly lacking.

So Scott, it is ok for you to have fun driving your Corvette
way over the speed limit, but it is wrong for these cyclists
to have their share of harmless, innocent fun? Hypocrite.

I'm not going to download 51MB of video at home, and you could just cross
post this like normal. I don't have any desire to visit the bicycle
groups. I was essentially kicked out of the bicycle community of usenet
when I openly stated I favor an 85th percentile speed limit over their
idiotic 'human-speed' ideas of the turn of the century (the 19th to 20th).

er should have read at work... but it seems that my cancel didnt work and
it did anyway. Doing that in chicago would get them killed. If not
accidently, on purpose. I've had drivers come after me for *following* the
IL vehicle code, when they thought I should be doing something else in
their own personal verison of the vehicle code.

Everything they did was wrong, except when they were in an empty lane
going the speed of traffic or faster. Their same lane passing was often very
poor, but not worse than that of many drivers.

That's the nicest I can be about it.

I am very surprised by the behaviors of drivers. I didn't see a single
active block, or drivers accelerating to prevent passing when possible.
Although there was one rather timely edit.... But like I said, they would
be dead by accident or on purpose in chicago.

Well,for starters,you get taxed on the full price of the item,then get your
rebate eventually(several months for the last one I did),if you made no
errors.

They seem to be getting better about the rebate process. Nowadays they
print a very convenient form on the receipt at most places; it's kind of
silly though to have to still cut the UPC code off the product. The
turnaround seems to have gotten a lot faster too.

I'm sure they depend on the laziness of people not sending them in to make
their money.

The tax bit is pretty minor compared to the savings that can be had.
www.fatwallet.com has forums which are excellent to find deals. For
example, buy.com has Norton Internet Security for 51 cents after rebate.
It's closer to a dollar after stamps and an envelope. Still, hard to beat.

Scott, laddie, where are your balls?

That retailer is not very good. Check out various forums and you will
find people rate them far below most other Internet sites.
