So, some homeboy in a giant suv yells at me as he goes by. Cuts me off and starts driving through the snow bank so I can't get by. Speeds up. Slams on the brakes causing me to nearly run into the back of his monstertruck. I roll up to his window, he starts yelling at me. I tell him to relax and go to work and he responds with "yo I don't gotta work". Then he drives off again. When he catches up with traffic (approx 10 seconds later) and stops, I catch him and I stop behind him as I can't get by (this of course happens at least a dozen more times). When he starts moving again he nails the gas in an attempt to snowjob me.
What a ****.
The worst part? His license plate was covered with snow so I couldn't get it.
Seriously, I ride very civilly and within my limits. I don't do anything to intentionally piss anyone off. Yet this **** keeps happening. All three of these incidents happened on Harbord Street as well. I think I'm going to go back to my 'no Harbord' rule.
*sigh*
Humanity is ****ed.
harbord? really eh? I ride everyday there and never have any problems, mind you I'm never there during morning rush, which is the worst. When I had a 9-5 job i used to take college from ossington to university right at like 8am, everyday was some incident or another. It was during this time i learned that i shouldn't ride with headphones during rushour commute!
keith i'm gonna call you in a bit, just got to finish my wheaties here
