That happens a lot.

Nothing too special about the ride. Did have a fairly typical problem with a motorist. The arterial I ride switches from 5 lanes to 7 very narrow lanes as I approach my office. I typically move just a little left to make it even more obvious that a car can't share the lane with me. Every now and then one of those people who are mentally unable to change lanes will end up behind me - and then still be behind me as I need to move left across lanes to make the turn into my office. It's just a hassle.

The annoying part is that many of these people pull up behind me at the previous light. If you're in a car on a six lane road, why would you pull up behind a bicycle (instead of changing lanes) that you won't be able to get by? I guess I've already said it... they're mentally incapable of changing lanes.
