The Chainlink

Think of this as a Missed Connection.

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.

Boy, I must be in a mood this week, but I have another one :) 

Thank you, Mr. Rolled Up Blue Jeans and Baseball Cap on the black road bike for clipping my handlebars while trying to pass me as I waited behind a line of very tightly packed cars at a stoplight, as I knew I wouldn't be able to fit between them, but you so wisely decided that you could, albeit by carefully walking your bike between them after clipping me.  A simple "excuse me" or "sorry" would have been a nice touch-or even an "on the left" to give me a heads up.  I also admired your etiquette skills as you then proceeded to bang on the passenger side door of a car crossing the intersection with you, and then flipped off the driver who you felt was too close to you, as well. Nice way to make it safe for all of us.

Spurs come to mind Melanie.  Sporting shiny silver spurs on your favorite boots.  Those'll deter immature, impatient, irritating, tater heads.   ; )


Glad to here you didn't have to observe the dope bleeding in the street too.

To the cute young lady with the flowing brown curls on the old skool bike riding North on Milwaukee at 745 PM that decided to blow through the red light at the WP/BT library and almost clipped me when I was turning left on my bike to head South when you see a car or a bike with the right of way... Give it silly person I would hate to have leveled you.

Hugs

You: White Ford cargo van northbound blowing the red light at 50+ mph on Route 83 at Shorewood Dr in Grayslake.

 

Me: Starting to cross with signal light westbound on Grayslake bike path/crosswalk.

 

Thank you for helping me get my heartrate up to 197 bpm. My personal best. If I hadn't heard you stomp on the gas to blow the red light my heartrate would now be 0 bpm. That pissed off look you shot at me, like it was my fault you almost killed me, was classic. Keep on blowing red lights, and soon I won't have to worry about you hitting me.

Me: heading south on Wells near Wells Auto Service this morning

You: The super angry guy in a silver Lexus SUV

Either I or another bicyclist must have really pissed you off this morning given that you cut right across the bike line at the stop at Goethe in front of me, with all of your windows down, screaming "stop sign! stop sign!" continuously.  You then pulled over on Goethe and yelled some more.  Given that I stop at red-lights, but only yield the right of way at stop signs, I suppose it could have been me, but this was the first time I had seen you. 

You will now be my shining example of how not to act around my fellow man whether biking, driving, or walking.

Asian dude on red fixie, wearing hipster glasses. S-bound wells at 930. U saw I was a truck and still cut me off. You're a lucky fucktard!

Dude on a super shitty Schwinn based ghetto single speed that had brown tap all over the top tube who locked to the same pole as me in front of Taqueria Moran last night with a big stupid hardware store chain:

You may not care about the finish or condition of your bike but other people do; the next time you lock up next to me with your jackass chain on my top tube I am going to wait for you to come out and we are going to discuss manners and respect for other peoples property in a very personal manner.

Ew!  Brown tap all over the top tube?  That's just disgusting.

To the last gentleman in a group of 4 cyclists just starting to turn onto the Kedzie protected bike lane from Milwaukee @ 9:10am.  Me on a black hybrid.  When you hug the inside left of the bike lane and accelerate uphill at the speed of darkness you really loose the credibility to yell, "Pass on the left! Pass on the left!" as I pass you on the right with 8+ feet of room.

LOL, your reply then is, "Move to the right!  Stay on the right!"
