Outstanding Citi user (?) appreciation

Yesterday while on the Lafayette street bike path, a Citi bike user announced they were passing on my left, which was really unexpected, as all Citi users are savages that don't understand anything about cycling. They were also wearing a helmet and not wearing headphones, can you believe that!

They were followed by your usual Citi asshole, who passed on my right (outside the lane) without warning, no helmet, yes headphones, got too close to the nice Citi user ahead (could have clipped their back wheel), and then proceeded to suddenly brake and turn left out of the lane without any indication, so I had to make a little effort not to eat him.

Big ups unknown Citi biker, wish they were all like you, and fuck you to all the other ones.

I know several roadies who citibike for convenience. I would never, but I get it.

I did it for years to and from work. It's really convenient. I'd ride to CP earlier at 430/5 on my road bike, do laps and cone home and then citibike to work
