So yesterday I'm walking up a commercial street here (on the sidewalk, of course), about to cross an intersection. The light goes my way and I get the walk signal. I start to go out into the street pushing my little boy in a stroller when suddenly I notice an asshole a guy on a bike.


Like most assholes people on bikes, he doesn't care about the rules of the road, except in those instances where someone else's failure to follow them causes him some inconvenience. So the asshat guy is going to run the red, at probably 15+mph. I should add this is a 'T' intersection, so the fvckwad he's going to take a pretty hard left turn through the intersection. Fortunately I'm able to stop and pull my stroller out of the way in time to prevent a collision, though he had to swerve a bit. Apparently, the sh1t-for-brains he was focusing on looking for oncoming car traffic, and didn't notice me and my lovely, innocent child.


So then God fortune intervenes and wouldn't you know it this cocksucker guy ends up eating asphalt in the intersection. Road rash extraordinaire, but otherwise he's ok.


If you're waiting for the part where you'll be proud of me - here it is:


While I really, really, really wanted to say 'maybe shouldn't have run the red light, asshole'. I actually held my tongue! Pretty cool of me, huh?
In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

You make me sad, jon. :(



:lol:


I freaking hate guys like that. Don't get me wrong, I don't at all follow the rules of the road on my bike, but here's the cardinal rule I do follow: I do whatever's going to make everyone else around me the most comfortable. If I'm trying to go straight through a T intersection, for example, and the road intersecting to my left has a car that's inching up, trying to get into traffic, I'll swerve and go behind him, so that he doesn't have to wait on me to get onto the road. Stuff like that. I've found that by far the safest thing for everybody is for me to not disrupt the flow of traffic, whatever that may be.
I cite irreconcilable differences.

The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D

One of my pet peeves as a rider, and entirely too common.
