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.

Hahaha... I do that too. It's called "getting in the last word", and I like to think it keeps a motorist from thinking he won the argument. (Am I being too hostile? ^_^ )
The space requirement was a little bit of an issue as my bike must fold twice daily, and occasionally the front rack needs to come off. I don't have to waste time hunting for the button, though, 'cause it's right under my thumb!

I'm afraid I've lost a lot of confidence that the police have any sympathy for cyclists since I saw six of them riding the wrong way on the Jackson Blvd bike lane a couple weeks ago.

Well...I had my first wreck in four years of commuting on the LFP early this morning. Me, riding southbound approaching the Oak Street curve at a moderate but safe speed. You, running southbound in the same area until you decided to double-back and run north without looking over your shoulder. After a few minutes of tinkering, I was able to straighten my wheel/brake issue out. The blood came off in the shower. Now, I'm just really sore. You were appropriately apologetic and no doubt hit hard enough to learn not make the same mistake again. All things considered, it could have been much much worse. I just wish people were more heads-up on the LFP.
Ouch! Hope you feel better soon. That really sucks. I have seen so many joggers, walkers, cyclists, etc. not look when turning/moving to the left on LFP, I assume they will (which also kinda sucks).
I found that to be true all along Wells in the morning - the food and beer trucks are lined up in the bike lane to unload. I don't know that they have a viable alternative unless they make a change to clear parked cars for a "loading zone" window of time during the day.
