<p>I got shoaled yesterday and today - Today's was funny because I was first in line on Adams and Dearborn, and the Divvyshoaler got up right next to me on the opposite lane... and kept creeping up bit by bit. Light turns green and I go, and I look behind me on my left and he also got passed by the three other commuters that were behind me. </p>
<p>Got to Washington and again, he tried to shoal between the rider behind me and me. I don't get this. </p>

<p>Was walking my bike last eve on Clark in Andersonville and 2 guys in a big hurry kept trying to get in front but those other people that live in Chicago and the outdoor seating plus me walking next to my bike taking up more space!!!</p>
<p>Finally one guy sprints ahead and is 10 feet in front, Win!</p>
<p>Guy 2 then follows and now we all wait for the walk signal, but oops they don't know where their going so they take 2 steps then stop I bump the guy with my tire (sorry)</p>

<p>We are across the street and guy 1 busts left and his friend follows but oops again that isn't correct so they both come hustling back weaving and snaking through the 20 people waiting for the bus, next signal...Guy number 2 has to reclaim his spot in front and bumps into my rack then turns around to stare me down.</p>

<p>Shoaler to shoaler. Hmmm, that sounds like the preamble to a good joke. I dunno, I keep envisioning John Cleese in some sort of Monty Python sketch, politely shoaling around little old ladies on their tricycles, inciting major mayhem in the process.</p>

<p>Perhaps also out of politeness and an example... On Tuesday after-work-rush-hour on Dearborn, I asked a lady that was in front of me, if I could move up in front of her. I did this to show etiquette among the shoalers that were northbound on Dearborn and Wacker. She said to me, by all means, please. </p>

<p>Wow, bike rage! I consider that progress. Maybe not in the most noble way, but it sure beats road rage, just like cyberwars are far better than nuclear wars. </p>
<p>The city of Copenhagen, considered the bike friendliest city in the world, was far from it 30 years (about 1 generation) ago. In that span of time, the city has reinvented itself, and not just exclusively for the benefit of cyclists, either. I leave it to the reader to validate or counter that assertion. </p>

<p>Ernesto, you left out large segments of the shoaling population. Shaolin shoaling, the Susquehanna shoalers, Shoaling for dollars, the Shoaletteers and the Shoalettes, the list goes on... </p>
<p>Maybe one idea is to take the shoal. By that I mean, position yourself so that a potential shoaler finds it difficult to perform their dirty deed without having to say something, polite or otherwise. Make them stand up and be heard for their right to shoal.</p>
