This morning I had a dude in a Prius WITH a bike rack on the car pass me FAR too closely on a double parked city street. Oh man, I have a special hatred in my heart for people pretending to a) care about the environment b) ride bicycles...who are just as bad as every other aggressive motorist out there!
