Do drivers (or thug-pedestrians) tend to make such provocations to high-speed riders?
(btw I once heard a drive behind me say “let’s look at these cool lights!”
)
Vol,
Okay, what is a “thug-pedestrian?” Speaking from both sides of the saddle, I get sick and tired of motorists stopping not only over the stop line, but stopping
IN the crosswalk. And then looking at pedestrians as if they’re “crazy” for not wanting to either walk behind said car or in front of it out of the crosswalk.
As a matter of fact just last week I had such an encounter with a motorist as I was walking to the neighborhood Walgreen’s. When I politely asked her to back up she rolls up her window so she doesn’t have to hear me. And no there wasn’t any car behind her she could have backed up safely.
