You blew the red light east bound on Lawrence at Damen at 5:26 pm this evening.
There was enough time for the biker in front of me to make it half way into the intersection, northbound on Damen, before you came whizzing past my front wheel.
I yelled "You're an idiot!" at your big haired chick, self, and you looked back at me. I meant it!
I woulda testified for any of the cars, that managed to not kill you, if they had.
Keep riding like a tard!
love,
gabe
Witness bad behavior during your commute? Feel free to post. Maybe that lovely human can read it and think they are famous. Maybe you can also inspire the whole generation of kids to shower but we can start with small things.

You, riding a 5,000 dollar bike in full Spandex resting your legs for a brief moment.
Me, riding along my merry way passes you on your left in my tshirt and gym shorts, on my 1983 Raleigh sovereign.
You, get pissed that I pass you so you burn your wheels for a few minutes while I continue on my pace.
You, feel me on your back for 3 miles with no sign of letting up
You, get off at the Belmont tunnel as I laugh and pass by you, just getting started for the day.
Thanks for the laughs Jeff.
To the fair weather riders that won't read this: STOP SHOALING. I was shoaled a bunch of times last week and this week by your punk asses. I called out a group of people for doing it to me. It's rude. Etiquette, get some. I don't like having to keep passing you. Your behavior makes it more dangerous for me and you if I have to constantly do it after every intersection.
If a rider is stopped at a red light, pull behind them - especially if you are riding a Divvy. If the rider is going slower than you, you'll pass them and they'll hopefully give you the courtesy at the next light and stay behind you. If a rider just blew past you...DON'T SHOAL THEM.
PSA rant over.
Good Rant.
I've taken to pulling in behind the Shoalers and Singing at the top of my lungs! I usually do the singing anyway but now i get the added benefit of annoying the hell outta the people that don't know how to ride!
A fun thing you can try!
I have my iPhone in my bag strap pocket (no headphones, just flipped upside down so I can kind of hear it) and I'm usually listening to some sort of death metal or metal in general. I think my guttural noises would be quite annoying to most people.
I am going to try this. Thanks for the tip! Thumbs-up!
Man that is gonna be awesome! You're going to GROWL at shoalers! ;-)
And Jeff, if you ask around I always feel superior apparently. So i've gotta sing! ;-)
