Idiot!

I was driving down Goosenest (long, winding 2-lane road between my house and just about anywhere else) and I drove up behind this guy on a bike. Not unusual. Lots of people bike around here. But this guy was riding in the smack-dab middle of the road, and he was sort of swerving around. As I got closer I could tell that he wasn't holding on to the handlebars. I personally never learned to ride a bike that way, but I know people who could do it. This guy wasn't some teenager showing off to his friends, though. He was at least my age, maybe older. So why was he doing something so unsafe? I was stuck behind him for a few minutes until the road widened. When I was finally able to pass him I glanced over and everything became clear to me. He was TEXTING WHILE RIDING HIS BIKE! What a moron! No offense to anyone who does this, but what a bad idea!
