Yeah, just this day, I'm pedaling back from the library during "rush hour", on a side road that everyone else is using to escape the traffic, thru a quiet residential street. A two way stop sign, I stop. A p/u truck is waiting to turn, I wave him on to continue his turn. Halfway thru his turn some maroon on his bike blows thru my stop sign and almost hits the truck, then yells at the guy!
Aplomb! What an idiot! This typical ass-breath bicyclist with his own set of rules totally ignoring safety and the Vehicle Rules of the Road...Everyone would have laughed at the instant karmic justice if the truck had simply flattened this butthead, so everyone could have gone on their way. Lesson learned.
As it was, the truck driver let it go, and as he passed in front of me, offered me a smile and a peace sign....That's cool, but ya know what? I was just obeying the rules of the road, and my #1 rule of Persuasion- I'm persuaded on my bicycle: I'm the smallest fish in the pond, and I don't have a chance against Buicks...much less trucks!
