On my way home last night I happened upon a man running with his dog in MY bike lane. I told him that he should be on the sidewalk as I rode very closely by him and he yelled something at me. I ended up getting into a heavy shouting match with lots of profanity with him about who has rights to the bike lane. I then turned around and biked towards him again saying that he better move or I will hit him. I ended up stopping just short to scare him and we had a civilized conversation about why he was in the bike lane. He claimed that running on the asphalt is softer on his knees than running on the concrete sidewalk. Is this true? I find it hard to believe. Anyway, we shook hands and went our separate ways but he will most certainly still be running in the bike lanes.
