BICYCLIST-INSPIRED ETIQUETTE
1. It is inappropriate to leer at gawk at holler at or in any other manner heckle ladies on bikes. WhatTheFuck is up with annoying ghetto ghanstas, hoosier construction dudes and middle aged white guys hollering at women who are walking or bicycling around town anyway? Okay, to be fair, I know what is up with it, but SERIOUSLY guys. I heard recently that we are in the POST FEMINIST era, which I think implies that it is no longer kosher to be sexually harrassing women on bicycles, alright?
And furthermore, does that tend to work for guys? Do they sit on their porch and holler 'Hey girl! Why don't you ride DIS?' all day until eventually some chick jumps off her bike and onto his dick?
2. Honking your car horn to get the attention of a cyclist is overkill and it's annoying. It's seventy degrees out for Christ's sake! If you know me, roll down your window and say Hi. Horns are to be used only to get the attention of other cars or if you think you're going to hit me and I don't see you.
3. Just because you're stuck in that dumb car and I'm enjoying the gorgeous weather and getting some exercise to boot does not mean you have to be so grumpy. Feel free to smile. Okay thanks.
4. Yelling "GET A CAR!" at a cyclist is so idiotic I'm almost too embarrassed for you to even post it here. Get a bike, you fat fuck. With the price of dead Iraqi babies, sorry I mean GASOLINE, at almost $4 a gallon, your suggestion is indicative of serious lunacy. Also, why would you assume someone on a bike has no car? Someone failed Logic class, eh? If bike, then no car??? Oops.
5. Finally, cyclists have the right to take a lane. For my own health and well being (and given all the aforementioned information), I tend to ride on back streets, but in the event of a long string of parallel-parked cars, and the absence of a bike line, unfortunately for you, Cranky Car Driver, the cyclist has the right to take the lane to avoid the terrible fate of being doored by some out-to-lunch-driver-on-a-cell-phone, flying over her handlebars, and smashing her skull up real good. Thanks for your patience.
See you on the road. Be safe!

Ugh. I wish I were confident enough on my bike to ride it more. I'm just a tad short, and not so well balanced and I'm afraid I'm going to wipe out completely.
But this

1. i think these people don't even know ( and much less care ) that there even was a FEMINIST era. Also, some people read post-FEMINIST as failed-FEMINIST era 
2. I hate careless honking ! It's not a tool for communication, though some people like to use it that way. In germany there is a bad tradition where people drive through town after they got married, honking constantly. I hate it ! 
3. i'm so glad i don't have a car
4. i'm so glad i don't have a car
5. "being doored" ... happened to a friend of mine. i was lucky so far 
Good Luck and have a great time outside !

Hey mama. Word on the bike manners.
The press, or "straight-straight" as we used to call it in gymnastics, is supposed to be done with straight arms and straight legs. Sorry to tell ya!
Don't be afraid to let your shoulders move way past your wrists in the moment before you let your legs float up. To work up to it, try standing on something a few inches off the floor, like a panel mat or some folded blankets. It's all in the bandas. Engage the flying up lock. (uddiyana and mula together) Yield your energy to the floor through your palms and let the rest become light. Radiate energy from your core through your toes. You'll get it.
