Rant 4

Have you ever woken up in the morning, fooled around with your wife or whoever, and felt like all is right with the world only to have your fantasy crushed by the selfishness of others (such as the motherfucker who almost hit me this morning)? I have. That’s how my day is going. So, what better way to deal with these feelings than exacting retribution? Fuck all cars.
Incident with the Impatient Trucker:
Incident Location: On Valencia between Duboce and Market
Incident Time and Date: 7:45 am on September 29th, 2005
Perpetrator: This was the kind of guy who would step on his mother’s neck to save five minutes on a commute. I did not get a good look at the driver, but the vehicle was a fairly large, white, Japanese SUV. It looked fairly new and clean. This was during morning rush-hour, so I assume this piece of shit lives in the neighborhood. Although I didn’t get a good look at the driver (he was going about 50 miles per hour), I did get his license plate number: 5MID695
Incident Description: First, I should preface this story by saying that the incident was not maliciously geared towards me. It was pure and simple impatience on the driver’s part. What this driver did (on three occasions) is use the bike lane on Valencia Street as his own special passing lane. That’s fucking not what they’re there for, asshole!!!! And, especially when there is already a cyclist in the bike lane such as myself. I fucking hate you for your callous disregard for human life. I implore you, if you want to use the bike lane to pass cars, then get on your fucking bike!
Conclusion: This builds more fuel for my fire concerning the need for traffic bumps along bike lanes. People shouldn’t be using bike lanes as their personal passing device, but they always will. Take this option away from them and make ‘em wait. Maybe they’ll get impatient and want to get on a bike.
