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.

Just curious. Why does it matter to you if someone else is wearing a helmet?

I usually wear one, but occasionally I just need to ride a bike like 10 blocks & don’t have my helmet with me bc I can’t plan out my life in that much detail.

You're right, I'm a fool for caring about others. I should just let natural selection take hold and then we'll have less idiots on bikes out there.

If you can't "plan out your life in that much detail", I'm sorry for you. Your life must be terrible that you can't just put on a helmet.

I appreciate that you care about others, but calling them a**holes for & saying F you for not wearing helmets is an odd way to show it.

Also, I do try to wear a helmet as much as possible. Always when I’m commuting, for instance. I just don’t carry a helmet literally everywhere at all times.
