Good ride except for an idiot on a bike. I passed him coming down Clarendon in Arlington, VA. 615 a.m. and dark. Crappy front light, no rear light. At least he had a helmet on, he almost needed it. I come to a stop at the Ft. Meyer intersection. I always wait at this red light as it is a somewhat complicated crossing. I'm stopped for about 10 seconds and here comes idiot going hell-bent for election not even slowing down. A crossing car slams on its brakes and forces him into oncoming left hand turn traffic. He causes three cars to stop. Then crosses back over the median and causes the original car to stop for him again. He turns left onto Lynn st. against a red and rides down a side walk. By this time I get a green and also turn left down Lynn. I see him leave his bike in a car spot and walk into the Starbucks. It took every ounce of strength not to kick his bike over as I rode past. He personally ensured that 5 more drivers hate bike riders if they didn't already. If I was still 21 I would have kicked his bike over and walked into the Starbucks and punched him in the face. I hope he reads this so he knows what a dick wad he is.
