What did you do yesterday?

[odeon]

Argued with a cyclist who had followed me all the way home because I had dared to honk at him. Poor thing.

Didn't know cyclist got road rage. Have only ever had one person follow me home; that was really creepy. Turned around and followed me, due to being flipped off by a five year old. Followed me home to confront parent and child and demand the spanking he felt was in order. Pointed out that he had just followed a woman alone with two small children to their home in the middle of freaking nowhere, in order to confront with suggestions of violence, and my husband might have a different of opinion as to who required the spanking in that context. He left.

Bloody hell.

I always honk at cyclists when I approach from behind them. It is for their own safety that I make them aware that I am about to "run them over" for obstructing legitimate traffic; traffic which actually pays with taxes to build and maintain the streets those cyclists THINK they own.

I know, the great majority of cyclists also drive cars, but then, let me insist that while these cyclist, who assume they have a legitimate right to use our streets ALSO follow traffic laws while they are riding and obstructing the lanes they supposedly shared in paying for.

How many times have you seen a cyclist go ripping through a stop light with no regard for the law? I often honk at those guys, too.
 

It is my experience that many cyclists follow traffic laws rather selectively.

So do motorists.

Keen cyclist, are you?

Things are dull, and I see a flaw in DD's logic, unless he claims to follow all traffic laws all of the time.

It's a terrific article, though.

I wrote one about cyclists the other day, btw, after my little encounter. It was published yesterday.

Did hardly use my bike, yesterday.

My country has an infrastructure fit for lots of biking. Racer bikes and elderly speed devils on electrical bikes can be a big problem when the weather gets a bit better though. There are thoughts on changing the infrastructure because of this. Wonder if that will happen.

I'd like to think that ours is reasonably good, too. The problem here is that the racer bikes seem to think they own the roads.

About ten percent of them seem to behave like morons indeed. Only caring about speed, so proud of their powerful image that they do not even want a bell on their bike, because it ads to the weight.

Other kings of the road are the cyclists who cannot make it without electrical support, and with electrical support they feel themselves to be the emperors of the road. The newer versions of those bikes go bloody fast, with drivers having no idea how to deal with that speed relatively slow bicycle lanes.

I seem to have generated quite a stir in the local paper. The article tops the most read list.

Me and a friend had a couple of beers while reassembling my projector.
