I'm a runner and a cyclist. There is a saying runners use: "Pass left spit right" I think it fits with cycling also.

not sure if he was a messenger...maybe i will edit that...but with the skills of running through reds it was my assumption...sorry
from my friend...
"He was on my wheel for a bit going down Milwaukee (10pm), and then decided to pass me on the right, and I asked to give me a warning next time. He gets about 5 feet in front and turns around then spits, not down but up and towards me. He then takes off, running all the red lights, hence the reason I didn't chase him down, and frankly I was just to tired."
Dunno if I missed a post, but I didn't see anything in this thread that would cast Smart Bikes in a negative light.
Casey Cherry said:For the record the Spitter does NOT hangout at Smart Bike Parts. No one at the shop is his friend nor associates with him outside of a customer-LBS relation.
I just happened to recognize him based on the description in the first post.
Once again, he does not hangout at Smart Bike Parts nor is he friends with any of us.
Don't drag Smart Bike Parts name through the mud.
Dark complexion with dreads

Does "dark complexion" mean brown tinted clothing? 'Cause it sounds like a random crusty...
Give others a little credit, Matt.

No one seems to know. Now what is gonna happen when someone sees a dude with dreads and a dark complexion riding a fixed gear? Will this person, whether they are the culprit or not, be subjected to verbal or maybe even physical harassment or even assault? If the real suspect is the type of person to spit on a fellow cyclist it stands to reason that he is a sociopath and capable of physical assault himself. This situation has potential to go down an unethical and dangerous road if not handled properly. I caution all of those involved to tread lightly in the handling of this situation.
Dredging up the old as I just happened across this somehow, I used to see this guy zipping around on this ugly-assed hipster bike. I had no idea that he was spitting on people. Did he ever get his just rewards?
