I know I may catch hell for this but I want to call out some very bad rider behavior. I left early from work today and decided to do some loops at Haines Point on the way home. I ride quite a bit there myself but I have never seen one group ride more dangerously than the group that rides during lunch there. They almost took me out twice. The first time the group passed me way too close, so close one woman actually hit my handlebars and almost sent me down. It is not like there isn’t a lot of space to pass, they had 1 1/2 lanes to do so. I was riding in the middle of the right lane. She just kept peddling and said nothing to me until I confronted her and her companion told me she apologized and to get out of the way. I wonder who she apologized to. It wasn’t me. I guess they own the road. Some of the cyclists did apologize for her, but to be ignored by the person that hit me pissed me off. Here is a video of that encounter[video=youtube_share;IvjZqOnK0UM]http://youtu.be/IvjZqOnK0UM[/video]:
Continued on the next post (I guess you can only post one video)…
