I felt a little redemed yesterday afternoon on my commute into work.. There is some road work on the East exit from town.. Repaving.. So lanes are closed and cars have to share the remaining lane along with an escort.
So some smart A$$ kid starts yelling as I approach the escort. The stupid kid thinks I can't use the bike lane to get about the probably - mile of backed up cars. the kid yells- don't let him pass.
So I approach the blocked intersection , the flagman lets me continue, but on the bike lane of course.
Well, the kids were turning red from anger. The flagman says, sorry your car is too wide to fit on the bike lane..
Made me feel just great..
