The time we tried, on top of all the people milling about trying to see the bridge wreckage, there was a cop driving down the center of the bridge(taking up all bike lane space) at about 3 mph, and becasue people were standing around on the sides, where you're supposed to walk, people were walking in the bike lanes.
I did my usual thing of riding extremely slow behind them as they walk (in this case, 4 guys shoulder to shoulder taking up the lane and then some) and casually asked "pretty awesome bike lane, isn't it?". I must have startled them as they kinda jumped outa the way, but then i heard him say "an 'excuse me' would work" in a snide tone, so i skidded, turned around, and said, "or, you could just watch where you are walking and it wouldn't have been a problem in the first place."
Dude was pissed, girl and I rode off laughing.

So not a half hour ago I was on my way to work cruising down Broadway and this jackass just pops out in front of his van headed for the driver side door. I didnt see him till the last second and didnt have time to swerve, so I just held on and shoulder checked him like it was the f-ing NFL, amazingly I didnt go down and it spun him around and slammed him into his van. It was right in front of a coffee shop and everyone started yelling and ****, I didnt stop or anything (had to get to work). There was a cyclist in front of me that was totally oblivious to the whole thing and a guy maybe ten yards behind me that I could hear laughing. I just dont get how the guy could see the first rider go by and still just walk out into the middle of the lane without looking, is wasnt like I was flying down the street or anything, I had just woke up and jumped on my bike.
I personally would have stopped. My job is really not that important.

so it seems like bfssfg threads get about 3-5 productive replies in before people **** on the keyboard then pick it up and rub it on the screen.

You should have stopped, but there are way bigger dickmoves you could make, and now maybe thanks to the moral instruction of bfssfg you will know better in the future. And it was funny.

I hit some dude head on once. Neither of us were hurt, and we both had a nice laugh about it. He smelled nice.

I still think you should have gotten off of your bike, thrown it at the guy, and given him the pile driver to end all pile drivers. Then you should have done the "suck it" motion that the nWo guys used to do and stolen his van so you could make it to work on time.
