I love this post. ALSO, WALK ...I COMPLETELY AGREE. I love this post. ALSO, WALK YOUR BIKE ACROSS THE CROSSWALK. There, I said it and it needed to be said. If you are using the crosswalk on your bike, you best be walking it across or you are going to have a very angry Sabrina shouting our her window "Walk your bike across the cross walk." They make laws for a reason. If you are in the road, follow the rules of the road, on the side walk, you follow those rules. Don't just bike across it, drivers aren't expecting you to be there and can't judge the timing. <BR/><BR/>Wow, apparently I have a lot of anger about bikers in crosswalks.<BR/><BR/>And honestly, I ride my bike all weekend long everywhere. And what do I do.

I caught up to him and tried to confront him (a dumb idea, I know) and he went completely apeshit, threatening to hurt me and calling me some really offensive names. A few blocks later I passed him again, and saw him punch a dent into the hood of a Jaguar driven by a old grandfathery-looking guy in Beverly Hills. Neither me nor the Jaguar driver were doing anything other than waiting at an intersection. It was really unsettling, and made me feel much less friendly towards cyclists.<BR/><BR/>My personal theory, by the way, is that this particular man must have been bicycling because his driver's license had been revoked for reckless driving/road rage/DUI.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
