Great weather (about 20C / 68F), but tempered a bit by a rare argument with a motorist. Was pulling up at a cyclist/pedestrian controlled light on a designated side-road bike route, and a guy in a minivan decided to race me to the light. He cut over right to the curb at the stop line a couple metres in front of me (though there was plenty of room to the left for him to stay). He also rolled past the stop line into the cross walk going perpendicular, and just about hit a few pedestrians.

He was so close to the curb that I couldn't get up to the push button they put at the curb for cyclists to signal for the light to change. I raised my hands in frustration and said "Thanks" fairly loudly. He rolled down the back windows of his minivan and said "If you're going to be on the road, you need to follow the same rules as the cars!". I have no idea where this comment came from because I hadn't done anything wrong, so I responded: "I *AM* following the rules; this is a bike route and you're sitting in a bike lane as evidenced by the painted bicycle on the road that your front tire is on top of. Also, I'm not the one who just about mowed down those pedestrians; how about you start worrying a bit more about yourself and trying not to kill people."

Frustrating that there are ignorant people out there. At least it's rare that I run into them.
