Bicycle Bad-Ass



Riding home from work today:

A car slows to a stop in front of me. Traveling perpendicularly is a man in his 60s with a grey ponytail riding a beat up mountain bike and talking on a cell phone. The car floats the stop sign in front of the bike, but not so close as to endanger the rider. The rider gets off the phone, makes a U-Turn and chases the car down yelling, "Hey, hey, hey, pull over! Hey, pull over! Hey, pull the fuck over!" The car stops, the rider pulls up alongside it, and he starts banging on the window. The driver rolls the window down and the rider starts yelling in the driver's face, "Hey man, you need to fuckin' stop at stop signs, you almost hit me..." The car speeds away, apparently unable to face the horrible truth about himself.

I couldn't hear all of what the rider said, but I'm pretty impressed with the guy chasing down a car and screaming at an asshole driver.
