I've been seeing a lot of runners in the bike lanes this summer, especially around augusta and damen (anecdotal however because I pass this intersection on my way home) during the evening rush hour. This obviously creates a dangerous passing situation for cyclists and not to mention is just extremely inconsiderate.
This evening I yelled at a runner (who also had headphones in to make things worse) to let him know that it was dangerous, he caught up to me at a light and completely shrugged me off and said he does it all the time. I tried to emphasize that it was the BIKE lane with the picture and everything to prove it but I didn't seem to change his mind.
I'm curious to see how other cyclists deal with this-- tips, suggestions, should I just accept that these jerks will always exist and begrudgingly pass them?
