Open Season on the Idiots Declared

I think, if I am to survive the summer on my bike without being arrested for "accidentally" kicking someone into the lake, I need to find a route home that does not involve me getting on the lakefront path.

The urge is just too tempting, when there are three yapping Trixies walking side by side on the narrow path, or "jogging" - and everybody is swerving into oncoming traffic to get around them, because they WON'T MOVE.

Or they're trying to ride their bike while talking on their cell phone, and they swerve right in front of you.

Too tempting, I tell you.

I think Bob Dylan inadvertently penned the anthem of the Trixies when he wrote his song Idiot Wind, with the following refrain:

"You're an idiot, babe, it's a wonder that you still know how to breathe."

Right?
