What the HELL?! On my way back from class just now I was on the bike path and this guy ran straight into me on his bike. He had a good 10 seconds to move to the right - I was already hugging the edge of the parked cars on my right.. I couldn't move left without hitting someone else head on. I even motioned for him to watch out and move to his right.. but did he listen? NOOOOOOOOO he flies right into me. My hand got bent up when I used it to deflect the collsion, sending him flying off his bike. I was about to kick him in the ribs for being a complete dumbass.

PASS ON THE RIGHT! Is that so hard to figure out???

Was he wearing either a scarf or a beret? Or any articles of clothing that were fushia?

hahahahaha! you did the RIGHT thing to push him off his bike, amnesiac! While I wouldn't have gone so far as to kick him in the ribs (would've liked to) I would've at least yelled something degrading to his intelligence at him. "This isn't England, genius! Learn to F*cking ride!"

its so dangerous riding a bike. I had to slam on my brakes and skid to a halt when a car almost pulled in front of me. He was staring right at me as I came down the hill, then he starts pulling out! What a clod.

Dang I hate it when something comes out of nowhere!
I was riding through the front of a schools parking lot, going to the convenience store, and I basically rode from the front of the school to the back.
And there's a steep slope from the front of the side of the school to the back of the school....short but steep hill.
So as always I start pedaling, and the bell rings.
I'm not thinking much about it, so I'm almost all the way down the hill, and KIDS start running out the exit door near the back.
Instantly slam on the brakes, ended up skidding for at least 30 feet.....could smell the tire smoke :D
Well at least the kids were impressed ;)
