Old people on bikes
   by Hemingray

Another PFFT from Lehigh Acres, FL (the retirement capital) regarding old people on bicycles and tricycles, especially on public sidewalks and bike paths. There's nothing like flying down the bike path at 20-30 MPH on the old 45-pound crotch rocket (my bicycle), and having to slam on the brakes because some old fart is going 3 MPH on a big-ass tricycle that takes up the ENTIRE path. Now I can see how old people do tend to go slow, but why ride a tricycle that takes up THE ENTIRE PATH?!

For that, I give a big PFFT!!
