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.

I would like to thank the 2 folks on my route today that showed me there is always something new to see when out for a ride even though I did not think there could be more shocking behaviour than open air drug deals, a contact high I get on my ride not only from the office but to it, the blatant disregard for turn signals and traffic signals.

1. Looking into the window of your Infiniti at the stop light a hearty thank you for the "phone porn" you had up on the screen of your smart phone, she is quite the lovely lady and awfully flexible.

2. To the fine young gentleman that was riding on the sidewalk heading in the opposite direction of me thanks for abandoning your crew of young fellows on foot to ride in my direction to say hello, nothing commands respect of your fellow man like playing chicken with them on a major thoroughfare.

During morning rush hour, going south on Wolcott, once you approach Lawrence, on the right hand sight of the street, there is a middle-aged male crossing guard sitting in car, waiting for the kids to show up. (Trumbull H.S. is on the south side of the intersection.) I've seen him, on more than one occasion, leafing through a porn mag.

Putting aside the fact that it is rather creepy that a crossing guard is looking at porn while he is waiting for the kids to show up, I have to say to him: Dude! It is 2012! Nobody reads girlie mags anymore. That is what we have the internet for!

Chicagos finest... You almost "doored" me and your partner was out of the vehicle facing my direction!

C'mon guys look out for us! Check your mirrors.

#2 On my way home tonight some hood rats threw a bottle at me and it broke just past my bike. I was flying so lucky me.

To the B in the mauve Ford (?)...
I normally respect others properity, however, when you come within inches of my 7 year old son with you 2000+ lb car while playing with your phone as he is crossing the street, in a cross walk- with the light... you send me into crazy momma bear mood. The fact that my short legs could reach to kick the rear fendor while pushing my bike behind him, only confirms how close you were to hitting him. I truly hope I dented your car, you almost hit my kid!
Thanks to the guy crossing at the same time who yelled and got her car with his umbrella, I appreciate you sticking up for the little one.

To the joker in the Honda Pilot s/b on Wells @ North Avenue this morning - I am sorry that the Lexus in front of you was turning left, and I am truly sorry that my Hi-Vis jacket and gloves, as well as flashing headlight aimed straight ahead, were not visible enough for you, but kindly check your mirrors before crossing into the bike lane! I would like to thank you for reminding me why I don't skimp on brakes, and point out that your dick move didn't save you any time as I caught up to you 1/2 a block later.

To the person who put his or her not quite empty Qdoba cup in my milk crate near Diversey and Clark, I wanted to let you know that the large, metal bins with all the trash in them is the appropriate receptacle.  Thank you.

I "love" it when cars pass bikes and then we pass em back, do they not know we are typically faster in the morning/evening rush. 

We need to all work together cars, peds, and bikes to make the commute smooth.

Happens to me all the time! Love those people! Last gift I received was a half full and thick Joy Yee "Bubble" smoothie.

A hearty 'fuck you' to the step van driver waiting to ruen left from Ogden onto Ashland who saw me coming, waited until I was in the intersection...and then turned left in front of me. You're one of those people that makes me wish I had something to throw at through that open door.

Dear Wicker Park BMW convertible driver,

Just an FYI, when I yelled 'watch it' and hit your car it was because you right hooked me without a turn signal.  Usually I would not have put much effort into turning it into an altercation but your yelling, 'don't touch my car asshole.' kinda pissed me off.
