Ugh. Nice enough weather and the legs felt good but two detractors this morning.....

*Commuter passed me on the right on the MUP--I had moved left to avoid a piece of 20' long piece of failing trail that everyone rides around, but apparently not this guy because he was right on my right hip when I went to move back right....you can't wait 20' to pass me???? and he wasn't on my left shoulder when I moved left....

*Cop (motorcycle) chewed me out as I was turning into work for turning left from the traffic lane and not the bike lane. I had also moved into the traffic lane to go around a sloooooow bike in the bike lane (it's uphill) and the cop saw that and gunned it up behind me to yell at me, even though I signaled both my pass and my turn and if he would've been behind me a block earlier he would've seen three bikes blow past me while I waited for the red light to change....... guess it's time to figure out Philly bike laws since what I did is legal in other places I've ridden and that's a turn I make every day....
