Ah, so Rahm is a "man of steel"... Either that, or he was dazzled by the sunlight reflecting off the fenders. :-)

Good thing there are no phone booths around that area for him to dash into.

Yesterday I was riding into Humboldt Park when I came to a red light behind two young super cool hipster looking girls. I was in a hurry and knew I was going faster than them before I got to the light, so I stopped to their left side and behind them, wilst waiting for the light. The one girl was like, "Exuse me, are you a fast biker, sir?" I suspected some sarcasm but answered as if it was an honest question. "Well, I was catching up to you guys... I'm going straight." "Well, go right on ahead of us please!", or something equally hinting at sarcasm. It bugged me because, I wasn't trying to show off, I wasn't being rude in anyway... but mostly it bugged me because I didn't have anything witty to say back. I should have been like, "no, your just reeeeaaallly slow, I thought you were riding backwards or something... GET OUT OF MY WAY!" ha ha. maybe they weren't even being sarcastic. whatever. I rode today.

Perhaps a Valley Girl impression and just say, "Whateverrrrr" and ride on your merry way.
