Funny how us bike people can work hard to propel ourselves, but some slimeball motorists can't lift a finger to signal a turn! I resorted to some namecalling last night on the way home. I was on the lift bridge, half way across when a motorist (who could have easily taken up some of the vacant lane next to him) waited until he was about 3' behind me to loudly sound his horn! The lift bridge grating is slippery at the best of times, so needless to say I was already on edge. After a slight wobble, I managed a "you f****n a****le!!!" to the driver, but there was no response.
Other than that, it's been a great week for riding! Watching a beautiful sunrise yesterday over a calm Lake Ontario at about 6:25 am, made the rest of the day a great one!
