Hmmmm - how can I make bike riding more dangerous?

I've made my feelings for cell phone use pretty well known - especially when people are talking and driving at the same time. The two just don't mix.

But, lo and behold, someone else found a way to make talking on a cell phone dangerous - riding a bike and talking at the same time.

This guy wasn't using a headset, no - he was using the full-on "hand up to the ear" style of talking on the cell. Yes, he was steering with one hand and talking on the phone on the other. Oh, and he drove right in front of my car, causing me to slam on my brakes - and he just didn't seem to care (He also wasn't using hand signals, but thats beside the point).

So, here's to you, Mr. Talking-on-a-cell-phone-while-riding-a-bicycle. Just when I thought people couldn't get more careless with a cell phone, you've proven me wrong. Bravo!
