yesterday, for me.

had just climbed up 15th beside Meridian park and realized my left crank arm was getting loose. it's a one way street and has bike lanes on either side for a bit of the road up the hill. i was riding on the left hand side of the lane when the bike lane ended and stayed on the left so i could turn at the next intersection to go home. i was alone, for most of the climb and only passed by two or three cars. as i was slowly pedalling along i hear a honk and i moved over a little closer to the left. cars are parked on either side of the road and i was now a little closer to them than i'd like to be. the suv rolls by and the driver yells that i'm supposed to be in the bike lane. he keeps driving and i pointed at the road to say that i had the right to be there. he waves out his window and keeps driving. the car following him decides to pull up beside me, while we're rolling along to yell that i'm giving the other guy a hard time and i'm supposed to be in the bike lane. all i could say right then was i'm not required to be, by law, and that he should read the law before trying to run me into a car. he then swerves a little closer to me and drives off. both drivers stop at the intersection ahead, which was a quarter mile up from us, and the suv moves to block me off on the left. i was able to avoid both cars by swerving around them. i didn't go back for afters, i just coasted through the crosswalk, onto the sidewalk and down 16th towards my house.
