Jesus christ, there is some serious whining going on in here... be courteous, use your fucking head and stay safe out there. The bicyclist is vulnerable, don't be a dick driving a car and don't put yourself in a dangerous situation if you're on a bike. It's not rocket surgery!Quote:

Running stop signs. Ha, that's funny. Who's being the douche?

A few days ago I began my mtnbike ride at the south side parking lot, entered the traffic lane with no visible cars for the less than 1/8 of a mile probably before turning left on to Galbraith lane. I had my dog on a leash and cars were parked along the shoulder so I was riding in the traffic lane. A car approached from behind me, so I used my left arm to point left as I went to turn left well ahead of my turn. Just as I went to turn, out of this fuckers way, they tried to pass me.
^^ What is needed is a video breakdown of this incident to determine who was in the wrong. Also, a racial description of car's occupants, i.e., white, hispanic, black, orthodox jew, etc.

Ok. Based on that, I conclude what you experienced is an angry lesbian encounter. Aggressive male tendencies in a woman behind the wheel is a bad mix. You're fortunate to have pedaled away from this incident.
this happens too often

According to statistics, 1.1% will have an insatiable desire to drive a Forester.
