To the woman behind me heading north on the 15th St cycletrack around 8:30am talking on her cell phone I ask, what was such an important phone call about that you needed to take it while riding your bike?

Dear everyone in a car crossing the Key Bridge and heading in to DC,
On M St., after crossing the intersection of 34th st, the lanes all shift left. This is so you don’t drive in a parking lane. It’s also so you don’t run me over. Stay in your damn lane.

Yeah I got yelled at by a lady in a car a couple commutes back there – “I could’ve hit you!”. I was pulled up alongside her on her left in my own lane (I often take the lane on M St in the morning) at the next red light but didn’t say anything. I think signage needs to be a lot clearer for cars. Maybe they can put some bollards on the road.

To the gent riding the pushmi-pullyu style road bike (originally produced by Dolittle) just below the caboose on the W&OD this morning about 0620, repeat after me; “white light in front, red light in back”.

Reds aiming both directions don’t work for me. Come to a BikeArlington event and you might score a white for the front of your bike

Me: Taking the lane northbound on the Monroe Street Bridge after signalling and checking for traffic behind me.
You: Cruising along in your Subaru wagon before veering into my lane to overtake cars on the right. You sounded great as you honked repeatedly at me, yelled through your closed window and passed me. I was really touched by the way you veered your car violently in front of me after passing, almost losing control.

I hope we can meet again and you can show your complete lack of patience while we navigate on a 4-lane bridge with no shoulders. That left lane is all yours, tough guy.

Looking for my long lost brother, please contact me if you see him.

I think I saw him wearing a black jersey…. Nope, not him, no sunglasses. I’ll keep my eyes peeled this afternoon, though.

Hey, lady in jeep wanting to turn right on red onto Clarendon Blvd. when I’m crossing at the crosswalk – you need to stop first. If we meet again I’ll explain why.

Dear blacked out Range Rover Sport HSE drivers. Why do all of you, and yes, I mean all of you, drive like you are compensating for something. At least two a week, all with different license plates rocket past me and then block up the intersection in the Arlington area. I suppose I shouldnt be surprised, it is Arlington, home of all assholes in the DC metro area, but still. I was wondering, what is it like to live a stereotype?

Dear spandexed road bike rider, who clearly needed to get to work that extra minute earlier this morning,

Even if you never call another pass in your life, on the TR bridge, when you’ve been riding behind me for half the bridge span and we’re still on the narrow part, you really need to call your passes. I’m happy to let you pass, just not to be pushed into oncoming traffic on 66.

Wow, on the TR? It’s sketchy to pass there at all, let alone without calling it. Come on, people.

Now now…there are plenty of jerks who live elsewhere too.

Dear Handsome White Toyota Landcruiser,

We’re doing paceline on the Westmoreland St McLean this morning. You’re too heavy for me to pull. I do mind that you’re drafting behind me. I’m sorry that there wasn’t enough room for you pass me. Please stay back when you see me next time.

Red Orbea Bike,
