Go to the toy store and buy a bag of clear marbles.
I'm with you on this one Greybeard. When I was learning to drive I was told that if you need (want) to pass someone you should stay a fair distance behind them and flash your brights. (This was the method my dad taught me and not what I learned at drivers ed classes) Now I've noticed that people tend to use the "get as close to the person in fornt of you until they move" passing method. I don't know what changed in the last 12 years but it has made me keep my jacket pocket full of marbles.
Yesterday though I was riding and getting tailgated on a city street. There was someone infront of me so I couldn't go faster and someone beside me so I couldn't change lanes so in other words, the guy on the cell phone behind me was being a douche. By the time we got to a red light he had pulled in front of me so I pulled up next to him and knocked on his window so I could explain to him the differences in safety between tailgating someone in a car and tailgating someone on a bike. He just locked his door and waited for the light to change  I'm so dissapointed I didn't get to have my friendly discussion with him.

Let my dying thought be that every mile was fun and let my tombstone read,"They never made one fast enough for me."
