may day at my worker co-op was almost totally uneventful. i think the most exciting thing that happened all day was our amusement at finding a flyer for a show of furry-related photography.
as for that bicyclist... sheesh. so much misguided rage. he should be yelling at himself for being so blasted unobservant as to not notice the cars turn signal. i would have probably done quite a bit more than you to get his attention, and lecture him about how much attention *he* should also be paying, and how if youre going to run stop signs and behave contrary to traffic law on your bike (something im in no position to tell people not to do :) ), you have to be the eyes for the people who dont expect you to be there, not just for yourself. i am VERY fond of making these types of cyclists look sheepish for being such jackasses - they make it worse for all of us on bikes, far worse than us scofflaws (personally, im a responsible opportunist when it comes to obeying traffic law, or not...) do. actually, i probably would have yelled at him to shut the fuck up, cause the driver was doing everything right! this type of bike-related entitlement pisses me off even more than cyclists who lecture me about not wearing a helmet - they almost make me embarrassed to be a cyclist.
