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.

A nice loud blast from an air horn might work wonders on someone like that. ;-)

A guy crosses the lakefront trail at Lawrence on Monday with head down and without looking left or right and forces me and a jogger to come to a screeching halt. Me: Yo. Him: I am a pedestrian and have the right of way. Me: So you can walk across Lake Shore Drive without looking, too, because you are a pedestrian? Him: Issues a grunt and keeps walking with head down.
I really wish we could take Minneapolis's example and have seperated walking and biking paths. It wouldn't take up that much more room...
A belated thank you to the DB riding in front of me at BTD who launched a snot rocket without checking his "6".

Someone told me once that if an animal darts out in front of me, I should hold my line because it's likely to dart forward or backward. Totally not true for the bunny I encountered on Sacramento last week, but at least these potholes have trained me to execute a quick and tight swerve!

You: Bearded, 80's sunglass wearin' red fixie ridin' shoaler.
Thanks for attempting to shoal me at Milwaukee/Grand/Halsted this morning. In the process you almost hit the car to your left, because there wasn't enough space between me and the car. That's why you got a "don't f&*#ing shoal me!" Then you proceed to finally catch up at the corner of Kinzie/Des Plaines/Milwaukee and promptly pull in front of me to be a dick. I call you out on shoaling and you respond that you do it to "piss off dipshits like me." F#*K you.
It's fair weather riders like this that give all riders a bad name. Stop riding like an asshole. And wear a helmet, even though it may mess up your perfect messy hair.
to the never ending flow of pedestrians wandering out onto the bright green bike lane in Evanston, who act surprised to see me riding a bike in a bike lane with giant pictures of bikes on it, and giant arrows pointing the direction I will be riding... heads up goofballs!
Perfect weekend to get out and enjoy the ride!
To this I would add that if you pedestrians want to take advantage of the state law that requires traffic to stop when you enter the crosswalk, you must actually BE IN THE CROSSWALK! Otherwise it's jaywalking, and don't give me a dirty look for not stopping.

Woman driving black Honda Fit with "Share the Road" plates on Huron at Michigan Ave yesterday rush hour, setting a such a good example by talking holding phone in front her face.
