[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I don't get is how confrontational bikers are to drivers. I witnessed a man pull over in bike lane to confront a woman driver who was parking in front of the Dunkin Donuts on Lee Highway at 8:30AM bc she almost cut him off. She did signal and he was far enough behind her that she could safely move over to park but he flipped out. He almost caused an accident by stopping in bike lane and pulling up next to her window--literally blocked her from opening her car door. Insane.[/quote]

Too bad she did not get him on video harassing her.

I'm pro biking, but I've seen lots of cyclists who seem to be looking for a fight/something to be offended about. Yesterday, I passed a cyclist. He was in a bike lane on a residential street, and I still gave a wide berth while passing. He seemed to be offended that I passed, because immediately afterward, he got into the center of the driving lane and started going fast. Meanwhile, I approached a stop sign and pulled to the right of the line, behind the car in front of me - it's one wide lane, and those turning right hang to the right, while those turning left hang to the left. He approached as I was starting to make my turn, and said, "are you kidding me?" and practically ran out into the street to cross. He barely stopped riding his bike and got off and pushed it across the street without pausing, looking for cars, etc. Not sure what his problem was, as I had done nothing wrong and am super careful around cyclists.

You almost (almost) kept him from his BikeGod-given right to run stop signs. But he showed [i]you[/i], didn’t he? [/quote]
