Silly girl was driving her car on the SART today
It was a bit north of Angels stadium. I'm guessing she thought she was taking a shortcut to avoid traffic. I see her driving down the bike trail with her friend. They didnt look older than 21.
I got off my saddle and slowed down and gave them a good stare. At that moment she had a "Oh F*&*" expression on her face.
I thought it was quite rude of her to be taking up both lanes.
Hopefully she didnt kill anyone as she continued on her journey to find a way out.
Even our bike trails are no longer safe from idiot drivers!

Funny, I once saw an older dude driving on the trail just south of the stadium. Dude looked lost. Old people, young people, glad I'm in between.

Hopefully she'll run over a mugger or two.
Police cars or lifeguard trucks are a pretty common occurrence on the SGRT.

Every now & then, folks will drive down the HB boardwalk. Sometimes it's an accident, other times they do it to save the 20 foot walk. I have dented three vehicles so far on the path. No, I don't feel bad. A car or an SUV rolling down a crowded MUP with pedestrians and small kiddies is a precursor to disaster.

I see the original title was changed. I wondered if that would stay.
Every once in a while, along parts of the SDRT, I see the gates open and wonder if maintenance vehicles are in there and on their way out. At the same time, I always think "what if someone turns in there." Guess it happens.

Howd you know? I think that may have been the street.
There was a service truck that was on the trail. And i'm pretty sure I saw where she came in. The gates were opened up. I should have just stopped my bike in front of her, and told her to slowly back out the way she came.
On a side note, I made my way further north on the trail for the first time, and i'm impressed with how scenic and nice it is north of Anaheim. I hope to ride the whole trail sometime.

Once or twice when commuting early morning, I came up on TRAFFIC on SART. 3 cars. I think 1 truck and 2 passenger cars, all got on at Memory Lane and continued a few miles to where the construction there were working on was. All cars were going slower than cyclists.

That jackwipe who drives the poopshack pump truck between Katella and Imperial is more dangerous than a couple of bimbos in mommy's car. That fool barged on me multiple times over the years. I stopped and asked him WTF one time about it and he didn't have anything to say. A real big man behind the wheel and just another punk out from behind it.
