The motorcyclist turned to look at me, saw I was right behind him, and promptly ignored me. The rest of the ride was uneventful.
See ya at the Century.

Commute was mostly uneventful today. A guy on a road bike passed me on Riverside. I let him go for a while, the chased him. Just as I caught him he turned off. And I wanted to drop him because he didn't look anything like Lance. (sorry couldn't resist the parody -- see Road Cycling forum to be ITK if you have no clue of what I mean)

I did have another of those moments where I wish the cars would go on the sidewalk where they belong. They were in the middle of the lane getting in my way, WTF? Aren't cars for kids, you know, Matchbox, Hot Wheels and all that? (caused me to miss a light, dang it)

Ah, parody is in the air!
