If you happen to recognize the man in the pictures above, please share this post with him.

Major takeaways for him:

1) It's never appropriate to call a woman a b**** or a c***

2) Moving from the bike lane to the car lane to access a turn lane is totally acceptable behavior

3) Conflicts between cyclists can often be avoided by use of a bell or an announcement of your presence. "On your left!" is a useful phrase.

Longer version: As I was riding west on Harrison at Desplaines this evening (6/22) I was passed unannounced by this guy. As we proceeded to Halsted, he began to overtake a young woman as she signaled and moved from the PBL to the turn lane. He freaked out, rode across the street, hopped off his bike, and began screaming threats and slurs to her.

He then remounted, rode south on the Halsted sidewalk, and locked up his bike at the UIC student center. If you know him, please intervene with him. He clearly needs lessons in respecting women and cycling etiquette.
