Anyone have a broken handicam they can give me? Sounds like an excellent deterrent if this gets a bunch more air time (which I assume it will). Plus if they take it from me and break it, I might be able to get a free working replacement for you if you're lucky.

Just get a shirt made "Caution: Currently Filming Documentary" on the back. That will scare them.

A good technique to deal with aggressive drivers is to take out your cell phone with camera and calmly take pictures of there license plates. It usually gets them to be quiet quite quickly.

As well the new habanero flavoured bbq sauce from loblaws, PC brand is really good even if it has enough sodium to give me high blood pressure.

Does anyone have a broken cellphone they want to give me? This sounds like an awesome deterrent... or a motivator for them to kick your ass in even harder.

I point right at the plate, and then tap the side of my head...then give them the thumbs up as if to say "thank-you for identifying yourself"

Shiznaz? We just keep him around so that cabbies don't punch the rest of us.

TRaffic Jammer 05-09-07 03:46 PM

Naw he's just helping your thread out a bit so you guys don't feel too too badly. He's a helpful sociopath like that.

Nope. I spent some time helping him identify the bike (it's a repro that's been acting as decoration) and then he said "Oh, there's a typo in the ad, I want $1500 not $500." So no. I wouldn't spend $1500 on a new bike and a reach-around let alone a curiosity type bike I'd rarely ride.

Ha ha! Three free posts from the Phillies! Well done Shiz

speaking of the Phillies, im going to see them destroy the blue jays next week.

iherald 05-09-07 03:52 PM

I wonder if Philly has cops that attack cyclists for following the law. I bet they don't. We rule!

babychris 05-09-07 03:54 PM

Philly cops don't do anything. its awesome. when I was in Florida a few weeks ago, we got pulled over for going to wrong way, running lights and not yielding to peds, and he said, what would a Philly cop do? we said they wouldn't of done anything. he didn't believe us.

haha, the first MLB game I went to was in Toronto 2 summers ago. it was them vs the Yankees. it was really awesome, some random guy outside the stadium gave us free tickets. people are a lot nicer up there.

maxknee 05-09-07 03:56 PM

babychris 05-09-07 03:57 PM

TRaffic Jammer 05-09-07 03:58 PM

Hey we bought the talent fair and square! :lol:

I usually point at their license plate too, although on my way home I had to point at the solidly red traffic light. I start riding after waiting at MY red light and this woman in a benz suv comes through the intersection and jams on her brakes/horn. I pointed at her red light and she yelled at me. Awesome.

Reminds me of when I nearly creamed a pedestrian who walked out into traffic and proceeded to tell me to watch where I'm going. Riiiiight.

maxknee 05-09-07 04:17 PM

25,000 Here I Come!

TRaffic Jammer 05-09-07 04:31 PM

:lol: it makes them feel good about themselves.
I've become an advance of the green jumper..... when I see a driver without a hope in hell of getting into the intersection before the yellow runs out, I sly forward blocking them, saying...HEY it's f*&^%n' red!!! Sooo may folks just look sheepish, like a kid caught with a pre-dinner cookie. If the drivers are to take advantage of the 3sec common red, we're gonna have words. That's my go time that gets me in front of the curb lane draggers. hahahahaha I DO love leaving the occasional motorist stranded in the intersection....
