When to honk:

1. When someone is facing imminent death, and you think that honking
might
somehow avert a fatal accident.

2. When you're my good friend, and you want to catch my attention so we
can
wave at each other. (Hi Kathy!)

3. When you want me and probably everyone in the immediate vicinity to
know
that you are a complete, brain-dead, total, doofus.

4. When I am stuck behind 3 riders who are completely unaware of
conditions
around them, and one is occasionally straying into the opposite lane,
making
it impossible to safely pass them. A friendly "tootle" on the horn brought
them back to reality.

Right on, Chris!

Cyclists are so often their own worst enemy. I can't stand the way some
riders behave on club rides -- with no consideration for other users of the
road, whatsoever. Of course there are tons of bad drivers out there who
don't respect cyclists. There are also bad cyclists out there who don't
respect motorists and that's quite dangerous, too.

Flame on.
