Drivers here seem just as assaholic as you. I just had a woman in an SUV do that galt stunt on me maybe 10 minutes ago. Her windows were open so I pulled up next to the driver's side tail lamp and started talking to her and about how she had acted. She put her fingers over her left ear and just looked forward. Sick people. They really think that sort of behavior is acceptable and that other people are less than weeds to them. I should have given the 1/4 panel of her suv a good non-damaging thwap to see if she could have heard that.... They value their vehicles enough that might be the only way to get them to start behaving properly.

I've worked with guys who rode a lot and when they rode the same roads I did they had problems. > after reading many of his posts,I get that impression. Because I never talk about all the miles I do that have no event to speak of duh. This thread branch was about one above average idiot I encountered in 60 miles of biking. ONE in SIXTY miles. > Also seems that he's aggressive. I'm riding along minding my own business when someone decides to brush pass me, swoop and squat, or whatever hostile or ignorant act they decide on and I'm the 'aggressive' one? I think you're using the gpstroll dictionary.

I think you need to look up "aggressive" then. And as far as 'taking offense', gee Jim, how about you have someone ignore that there is a left lane and decide to brush pass you just because the don't like bicyclists.... how about you get cut off and then have someone nail the brakes... see if you 'take offense'. Do I take offense when someone decides to risk my life so they can wait at red signal a little longer? Sure, that's pretty natural I think. Look at all the things that have been criminalized that are drivers puting a cop's life at risk. Cops seem to 'take offense' to having someone brush past them at 50mph. |
