I concur with Rusty, goldwing = dick

I had a fun moment today, this is completely unrelated to drivers but rather another cyclist.
I had a really long day, got a flat, had to walk home get my car, come home running late for class, swap my pedals and then run out the door.
Buzzing down sunset, not quite at a mash but definitely not cruising I see a cyclist a head of me in full lycra. It was on the first and only real grade on my ride so I started pushing a little bit harder and I start to approach him at the top of the grade where there's a stop late. I'm running late, have HW that i still need to do and he stops in the middle of the bike lane making it impossible for me to pass him. I jump on the curb, go around the traffic and then run a red light as the other cyclist shouts at me to learn how to ride. I run the light in a safe manner, absolutely no cross traffic and even the cop, sitting at the light ignores me.
I push on and as I signal through traffic to get to the left Lycra Dbag come up behind me and shouts "TAKE SOME LESSONS ON HOW TO RIDE YOU GIVE CYCLISTS A BAD NAME." one thing about me, I don't react well to hostility and I respond to this lycra warrior on a fixie "Ride brakeless, kill yourself" and ride off. Pretty hypocritical **** if you ask me, considering I call Scrodz a hipster and I ride brakeless too. but none the less I thought I'd share.

Also, when in doubt, take a lane. at least thats my opinion on it
