I had a couple unpleasant surprises, although nothing catastrophic, on my 18 mile commute this morning. I was crusing along in the bike lane and a car blared his horn exactly as he drove by me, then proceeded to cut off the guy in front and to the left of him as he sped by. My suspicion is that he was not all that aggravated by me being in the bike lane and taking up a whole foot of his territory, and that he just acted that way to be a jerk. Of course, I could easily be wrong on that account. I threw up the obligatory one arm in the "what's your problem, pal" motion, which maybe was not my wisest move. But I was my first experience with a jerk driver and I kind of lost my cool for a moment. Of course, I have read many accounts of a similar nature on these forums. Later, as I approached the University campus where I work, a girl on a cruiser was going the wrong way down my bike path, headed straight for me. She clearly had no intention of moving, even though I clearly had the right of way. Luckily there was plenty of room on the right for me to move over. I see lots of people riding the wrong way on the sidewalk, especially near campus, but not often in the bike path. Crazy!
