Meanness takes away niceness. My niece enunciated those words at age 5.

It has deep meaning. Peace to the peloton.

Know matter who you think you are or whatever you might have accomplished on the "bike" it doesn't give you the right to scream, berate, and try and force your negative attitude on the peloton. Not to mention, the four very hard and purposeful brake grabs that almost took down a number of riders. Today I was excited to see one of your guys and one of my guys get in the break of the day. It was cool because I like riding with your team because they are strong, aggressive, and most importantly, good guys. Your constant use of the f-word is a little out of hand and I believe a lot of guys are tired of it.

You weren't even a blip on my radar today, other than the fact, we both ride near the front and happen to have riders in the break. You need to get over yourself. If i happen to be on your wheel when something happens thats just racing Dave-it's not personal. I promise it will be personal if you contiute to purposely go out of your way to hurt or crash me or others.

I did not do anything to warrant your unsportsman like, expletive laced, ego-driven tirad.

It's ok to be intense. It's ok to get mad. But it is not ok to try and intimidate others just because your attitude sucks.

It's ok to be happy.
