Haha I owned a cabbie today. I was riding east on front just before york st intersection, and the cabbie pulls one of those without warning 30km/h u turns into the opposing curb. I have to take evasive action and go around his rear bumper. I look behind and we are the only ones in the right lane and I'm in front of him, so I liesurely go and pull up to the middle of the lane and track stand there patiently and wait. I KNEW he was going to start honking at me! And he did! first a few toots, but then eventually he just laid on it and all the peds were giving him a crazy look. I did the 'is someone calling my name' cupped hand to ear thing jeremy said he did. Then, just before the light turned greeen, his honking unnerved me and made me accidentally drop my light on the ground! I of course took a while to get it as I had to get off the bike and bend over, ass towards the taxi, pick the thing up and remount. The whole time he is honking. I turn, smile, wave and ride across the intersection. When I looked back he was yelling in his car and making the crazy finger stirring the temple thing. The taxi guns it to turn right and has to screech on the brakes to avoid running down a stream of pedestrians. Stupid cabbies. I'm going to start doing this as a personal mission of justice. You can call me the TAXI DELAYER!
