Why should rural folks have to put up with loud noise that their city brethren are spared? After all most of us chose the country for its peace and quiet.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti-bike. I have enjoyed many a ride in my day, and wouldn't mind owning a bike if I wasn't spending all my money on musical instruments. I just have problems with activities that make life miserable for innocent bystanders. My peeve extends to smoking in public, loud car stereos and other things of that ilk Chalk me up as a hopeless curmudgeon.
