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.

Me: Driving and getting caught in the middle of Critical Mass, I had the whole family, son 6, still not comfortable on bike ride.
You: Guy who yelled "We're not scared of you." as you buzzed by.
You're part of the problem. This won't help raise awareness. It will make cyclist look like jerks. Nice job. . .

Hoping all is good with everyone out there: pretty sure I saw a cop talking to a cyclist and an ambulance tending to a different cyclist on the way home down Milwaukee. No one looked too injured, but was kind of worrying!

To the shoaling fellow in the black t-shirt with the huge headphones westbound on Hubbard about 4:45 p.m., I did not care about the shoaling, but you scared the s**t out of the pedestrian crossing Hubbard at Noble as you passed between a car stopped car turning right and a westbound car stopped behind the stop line allowing the pedestrian with the right of way to cross. Of course you could not be bothered to look or slow down, and you could not hear anything outside of your own little world with those headphones on.

Maybe one of the cyclists blew a red light and T-boned the other one. It has nearly happened to me more than a couple times, and as cycling gets more popular it's going to happen more often.

Oh, probably not haha. They were at completely different intersections several blocks apart.

Ah, I guess I missed that little detail in the story! <_/p>

The one with the cop was, yes. The cyclist seemed to be locking up his bike and looking down at his ankles while assuring the cop he was ok. I didn't stop or anything since I didnt' see anything happen.
The first one with the ambulance was... I'm blanking on the street name, but it was between Division and Damen, there's a T intersection. It was near there.

ME: riding northbound on LFT yesterday evening, just south of North Avenue. Trying my best to be cautious of all the happy, wandering folks standing around on the path talking. Passing some, being passed as well.
YOU: a couple minutes south of the split at North Avenue where the path goes either to the bathhouse (right) or to the light by LSD (left) you pull along side and take longer to pass me than I have ever seen in my life. I thought we would have a conversation, you were on my left for a good 60 seconds. As we get to the fork in the road, you are literally a foot in front of me but still on my left, and you swerve in front and slow down to go right.
Yes, I nearly ran you down and that's why I said something sarcastic. I thought more things that my mother wouldn't approve of.

Us: Wife and I, minding our own business, riding into Oak Park after a wonderful day in the City with our Out-of-Town nephew.
You: Sexy, older guy in tight, bright lycra and other costly bike gear who stopped us at a red light and insisted, unasked, on lecturing us about proper helmet placement and nervous system physiognomy, then rode heroically off into the sunset without ever letting us know your name ...

I passed the cop scene too, and couldn't figure out what was going on....
