So I was walking my dog and a cyclist was coming my way. You could see he was a serious cyclist because he wore black cycling shorts, a neon orange shirt and a helmet. I looked up in time to nod to him as he passed by and got a good look at his face. I know he was looking right at me, but he had a strained look on his face. I turned around to check on his progress and he was not thirty or forty feet away when he weaves and audibly farts. He didn't even look back. He just picked up his pace and sped away.
I mean, what was that all about? Do cyclists get into such a zone that they become unaware of the world around them? Or should I take it personally?

(12,153 posts)you should take it personally in that he waited for as long as he could after he went by you to let go of the fart. You said he had a strained expression on his face as he passed you. He was trying as hard as he could not to fart on you.
