Bikes: Surly Cross Check

Taxis on the other hand, are a different story. While driving I find them annoying and when cycling they're downright life-threatening. A lot of them I notice have no respect for traffic laws and right-of-way.
Me: Where are we going?

Taxi Driver: Where you want, ***** Avenue.

Me: Yes, but not the wrong way down a one way street.

Taxi Driver: It's okay, it's Sunday.
