So I live in Chicago and I ride the lake path pretty much everyday. I do about 20 miles a day. Those of you that are familar when you reach the end Hollywood beach you loop back and cross the first street which is BrynMarr..Us cyclist have the right of way..so with the wind behind my back and my enorphins flowing I come up to the cross walk. This jerk in a saturn slows down and runs the stop. I mouth WTF...so on my merry way I go and I come to the next street which the lake path cross which foster. I am about to cross the street and I see this old man running at me yelling like I just killed his dog..I stop my bike and three guys behind stop to...The old fool drove 2+ miles as fast as he could ran 3 stops signs to tell me F off. Needless to say I was impressed..So I stood there quiet as he berated me then the other fellas behind me..A cop pulled up shortly..I was waiting for him to hit me to be honest....this guy was so angry...I cant even explain...I rarely have seen anyone that angry...it was insane..So the cop calmed him down and thanked me for not kicking his fat saturn driving ass with his tacky hawaiin shirt up and down the block..I explained to officer what happened and I asked the guy whats your problem it obviously isnt me...Me mouthing WTF as you almost hit me when I have the right of way should not spark this type of furor..This guy lunged at me....the officer put him down on the floor...HOLY CRAPOLA....This guy was ticketed for running 2 stop signs..a lady on her bike pulled up and said this guy almost ran her over and that he ran the stop signs..I am very courteous rider on the streets life is too short to get all bent out of shape..but what the heck possed this guy today was beyond me....ehh what can you do.
