Joplin: Unpleasant bicycling experiences detailed

Brad Hargis tells about his less than pleasant experiences bicycling recently in a Joplin Globe article:
I would like to grow old with my wife, watch my five kids grow up and learn the tolerance that I have used all my cycling life up until now.

I'm writing to those knuckle-dragging Neanderthals who think they own the road, shouting expletives and thinking that honking their horns is some sort of photon energy ray that will disintegrate the bike rider in front of them.
