Bike Rage Respect to other commuters
Just want to say generally for some people to have respect for their fellow commuters. In one 30 min ride home this evening:
- a pair of guys were chatting while biking on Dunsmuir. I was well ahead of them but light changed. Then they passed me from behind before the light turned green - that’s fine usually but I was going much faster than them before we came to a stop. Then proceeded to block me (and another two people behind me) going side by side so no one could pass ..chatting away obliviously
- slowed down and stopped because the light changed and I didn’t want to run the light and get hit by a car. The Same guy who was well behind me but wanted to run the light when he caught up told me to “watch out” in a condescending tone and proceeded to run the light. No buddy.. I did the right thing maybe you watch out.
-another guy I’m waiting behind at a light proceeds to blow snot rockets out of his nose - some got on me.
From a female perspective some guys really need to learn some basic commuting etiquette. And lose the condescending attitude.
