<p>Yesterday after work, I got on Dearborn headed north. At Dearborn and Madison, I got shoaled by a man next to me, on the southbound lane. </p>
<p>I said: hey, sir</p>
<p>Sir: ???</p>
<p>Me: sir!</p>
<p>(sir, removing his right ear headphone)</p>
<p>Sir: what?!</p>
<p>Me: are you turning left?</p>
<p>Sir: no</p>
<p>Me: then get in line! I don't want you bumping into me when the light turns green (there were three other cyclists behind me)</p>
<p>Light turns green, I just stood there…</p>

<p>Yesterday I was leading a small group that was not going fast. We were on Damen going perhaps 12 mph and a person on a Divvy who we had passed a few blocks before then shoaled and got in front of us. I waited for traffic to allow me so I could pass the 9 mph Divvy rider. My group got split as some were not able to pass due to traffic.

I was thrilled when I saw the Divvy turn before we reached the next light. This was not a matter of pride or annoyance, it was simply dangerous. I was going to gently explain this if we had an encounter at the next light as I felt responsible for the group I was leading.</p> Heh, I didn't know Clint East…tag:thechainlink.org,2018-08-27:2211490:Comment:11050512018-08-27T04:14:10.079ZJoe Guzzardohttps://thechainlink.org/profile/JoeGuzzardo

<p>Unisexshoaling? As a proud heterosexual shoaler, I find myself conflicted by that word. I'm ok with shoaling by either gender, but unisexshoaling strikes me the same way as unisex bathrooms. Is transshoaling a thing? I think we need to come up with some sort of catchy shoaling theme song. That might work.</p>
