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.

It's not a tantrum. Stop being a defender of hate speech.

Please - could you stop antagonizing Michelle? She's going to throw this tantrum until she cries herself out.

Can you post a pic so we all know who to avoid? Thanks

Finally, cause this is a Missed Connections thread not a vent about nonsense thread:

Chick Cyclist, white helmet, HUGE BACKPACK, Orange Masi, Southbound on Damen near Roscoe this morning 8/27. You decided it was ok to pass between me and a  large moving Chevy econovan cause you said "on your left." I yelled "Are you fucking retarded?" No response. Maybe you are to dumb to say anything but "on your left." If I had even leaned my bike i woulda touched you. That's too close you moron. Wait for cars to clear than ride like an idiot. And all that effort made so much difference as I caught you at Addison AND Diversey.

Bexause using a word you know is offensive on purpose is so adult.

In racing, especially track we use the word "stick" it basically means hold your line, I am passing on your left (sometimes on the right) and please do not do anything stupid until I am clear of your wheel. I wish this would be more common with commuting cyclists and runners.  I seldom use OYL because way too often the person you will be passing will look over their left shoulder and veer left to see what or who just said  that. Also I believe OYL is too often taken as "get the hell outta my way"

Really, anyone who insists on using the harmful and insulting words just because they can, are less than human in my eyes, and in the eyes of decent people everywhere, not just on the Chainlink.

And how would that not be entirely useless? We need to have a discussion about using these words here, and now, where people are using them without regards to others.

... Which people like Vilda will not attend because they're fine just running around using these words willy nilly. 

I'll tell Vilda when I see Vilda using these words. Here. And we can discuss it, before moving back to the original intent of the thread. 

Nikul Shah said:

I agree, the discussion is valuable. Start the relevant thread.

Guys, Let Tom And Michelle talk to each other. They've proven their value in Trolling.

Are you dense?

You have belabored that point over the last several pages. Start a new thread.

The other day I went for a ride with my girl and I came close to a number of people, it was a glorious day with minimal negative impact. I love riding.

It's not trolling. Love when people decide that everyone who tells them they're an asshole (while they are being an asshole) is a troll. 

I am telling you that I will not stand for that word being used here because it is an offensive slur. You keep using it.Your move.
