You did the right thing by letting him know he was in the wrong. It's always
annoying when you lose your rag, play it cool next time, but confront them
all the same -- much more fun.

And never think that cycling isn't worth it. The way I see it, you can kick
the bucket in a thousand different ways at any time, and if you happen to be
cycling at that moment; you're doing something that you love.
