I was nearly run over...
...by a drunk, salmon-riding, helmetless Critical Masser, who was listening to his iPod whilst brandishing a bicycle stink face and wearing culturally-implicating clothing.

Hey! It's not the biker's fault. It's Apple's fault, right?

Was he also texting while riding no-hands on his brakeless fixie? Were you in Amsterdam for this encounter?

Half of those fools don't even have batteries in their iPods. They're too self-aggrandizing to notice that noise in their ears is only the wind howling through their heads. The other iPod-less half notices but doesn't care.

It was your fault. Everyone knows that salmon riders also hug the gutter. Next time take the lane properly and you won't have any problems.

A&S Theory of Forum Discussion:
If discussing a motorist-vs.-cyclist incident as relayed by another cyclist or the media, the motorist is always at fault.
If discussing a motorist-vs.-cyclist incident with the cyclist victim, blame the cyclist for not being competent enough.
If discussing a motorist-vs.-cyclist incident with a motorist, ban motorist from the forum, preferably before they even say anything.

salmon riding?
what does salmon riding mean? Critical mass is a big group of cycists that all go out riding in the same place at the same time. Is that right? (no such thing near where I live)

Too bad it was a dude Kurt. If a chick happens to do the same thing next week, get her number for me, sounds like fun. Miami is not that far. I'll drew up a ninja fixie as a peace offering to her.
