So, I was doing my typical 10 mile quickie loop, I've done this route countless times. I wanted to get in one more ride today before I made dinner and got lazy.

Anyways, we're lucky here to have some pretty generous bike lanes on local roads, which are fantastic but today I realized that there is always going to be that jerk (or group of jerks) who thinks its funny to dick around with you. If you're in the "road" or not.

It went like this...
I'm ho-humming along around 18mph on a flat section of road, doing the occasional look-back to keep tabs on traffic. It had been a pretty light traffic day, so it was great so far. Until these guys- I hear something large coming up behind me, and I look back and I see some jacked up pick-up truck. I was like "eh" got as far right as I could just to be safe anyways. Then they speed up almost next to me, then slam on the gas RIGHT behind me, then get about 1-3 feet in front of me, then drive their truck INTO the bike lane. Then they drive along the bike lane for 50 feet or so, real slow. Then they go back onto the main road and speed away.

When it was happening, I was kinda ticked off seeing as how he could have easily killed me. But once it was over I realized that their life must suck pretty bad to have to go around harassing people for fun, and now I feel bad for them.

I didn't get their plate, but I know the car, and I actually know who the driver is, he doesn't know who I am though. (local trouble maker type mid 20-something) I'm thinking of making a phone call.
