instead of saying anything to the guy you shoulda U-Locked him on the back of the head

...or just bite his kneecaps off.

Personally, I'm happier when pedestrians totally ignore me instead of doing the shuffle trying to get out of (or into) my way. It doesn't matter if you don't see me, cos I can see you.

haha this is great, i love hearing about the hardships my fellow richmond cyclists go through. i assume the club area with pseudo thugs is hyperlink cafe on grace? wouldn't surprise me in the least... there's not a night i ride by there without seeing at least one white escalade and getting a bunch of hard looks.

anyway, usually when the pedestrians give me that ****ty look, i cut ********ly close to them as haphazardly as possible as a sort of 'gfto of my way' greeting. can't say i've had any particularly nasty pedestrians though. the closest thing is that one day i almost hit a girl who started blindly powerwalking across the intersection as i had a green light. she popped out from behind this van while i was blowing through at full speed. i caught sight of her just in time, she froze like a deer in headlights, and i slid to a stop right in front of her. it scared the **** out of me to the point that i actually apologized and smiled before i rode off. if i had been in a car i probably would've laid waste to her life. people need to ****ing get a clue. :\

i see you're part of the 'rva loners' crew... this kid ben wants me to go on bike rides with you guys. i assume you started that back up last night, but i was preoccupied and couldn't make it. if you see a kid around campus with a huge orange baileyworks bag, say hi. i like meeting bike people. my name is jacob, btw.

did she have a twin sister and were they both wearing blue dresses? cos if they did... and if you were riding a big-wheel, i think we need to dig up kubrick.

I hate it when it's raining and a group of 60 million pedestrians don't see any cars so they decide to cross the street when I have a green light. Since skidding, skipping, or anything short of flinging myself onto a lightpole will not stop me I just scream at the top of my lungs GET THE **** OFF THE ROAD!!!! I usually end up doing a seated skid through the crowd like I was moses.

That always puts a smile on my face.

A few months ago I got on a kick where I would smack things out of a peds hands if they weren't looking in the direction of traffic and I had to avoid them.

I just learned I have to get surgery on my shoulder because of hitting a ped that j-walked across a bridge.

Ha yea. We blew out to the West End last night for some bike-tag-ish and then came back to chill it up. I got pWnd in a Russian Squeeze on the way back btw haha.
Which Ben? Colbert or Cohen?
And I roll with a sexy red trek (Kelley, SS) and red timbuk2 bag so give a hollerskys to me as well.


Also, the chain idea - brilliant. F*ck wearing it around me. Now I'm just gonna lasso b*tches with it. Oh, you wanted to walk in front of me? Funny story, there's a chain in your face.

I think I'll buy a cattle prod to shoo them out of my way. Ooh.. yea, the more I think about it - the more I like it.

the one that looks like sean (ryder strong) from boy meets world, only with curly hair.

--i don't know him very well as we ended up myspace buddies through bike related ****. he was in my bio 101 class (that's how i recognized him) last semester and he apparently knew who i was because some friends of his were keeping tabs on my ever-changing hairstyle, or something. weird. lol richmond.

Jew Ben...yeah you should definently come out sometime...I think 3 of us ride fixies + batman's ss.
