Well, yeah... it takes two to tango.


Just tonight on the way home I had a bit of a bad experience. I was dawdling along at maybe 15mph when this guy blasts by me on a knobby tired full suspension mountain bike, he slows down, gives me that look, slows down enough that I catch up with him and as I'm approaching he cuts across in front of me waaaay too close and darts off again checking to see if Im in pursuit.... as indeed I was . He topped out at 22mph which was a major disappointment but I stayed back with him and tried to make comversation but he was quite adversarial, seemed he took it all a bit too seriously, he even thought we were 'neck and neck' (his words ). We approached a red light and he blasted through head down, not even a sideways glance! After the light changed I quickly caught up to him only because he waited for me, I thought he may have had enough but nah, he starts up with the torments again which I chose to ignore. We then approach another intersection and he blasts through again without looking, a car narrowly missed him. I caught up to him, again at 22mph, and told him that if he keeps doing that he'll end up dead and I wanted no part of it so when he's done riding like an idiot we'll race again and promptly accelerated away.
