Great day today, light tailwind, light traffic, sun glasses. Just kinda cruised in.
Was dropped again by the rider on the red specialized. At least he mumbled a greeting as he passed. It bugs me that after all the years I've been doing this, trying to get the car traffic used to me and generally treat me as another vehicle, he is undoing what ever good will I've developed. He routinely blows through lights and signs, pops on and off sidewalks, scatters pedestrians and threads thru traffic lanes. Reminds me of an aggressive New York bike messenger. Seems to me he's exactly the kind of rider that pisses off the drivers.
