No Al, I said "sign," not a sigh...

But yeah, very typical encounter... not enough time to explain why you are indeed "doing the right thing" and the motorist then goes off thinking their same old thoughts as to why cyclists are jerks. (IE his "get on the sidewalk comment... )

Very classic and very typical encounter.

I wonder what HH would think/do in such a situation. Probably ignore the motorist and the honk... which of course leaves the motorist still thinking in the "wrong" way.

Also I love your real world encounters, over the "training video" in the other thread...

I wonder how Dan et. al. would handle this sort of "typical encounter." I doubt a "training video" of something like this will ever be posted.
