what should the rider have done? tp be legal, walked his bike on the sidewalk a spot where he could safely reenter the roadway traffic stream.
Semantic hissy fits about which cycling author best describes how to recognize aberrant traffic? off topic.
It's been several weeks after the incident and I have new views:
A. Eat crap on a daily basis which is what most NY'ers do - and learn to like it
B. Punch fat bastards in the face - especially those who put their hands on me
C. Not ride my bike in NYC
D. Be a totally 100% law abiding citizen (wuss) and walk my bike 7/8's of the way up a VERY long block to the next ave to avoid any confrontation with any denizen of the Big Crapple
E. Buy the entire Indian restaurant where I picked up the food so I no longer have to schlep to get good Vindaloo, or Jalfrezi
