So after Tuesday's incident, I will now be equipping my wheels with those chariot spikes (circa 90 BC) so that any vehicles approaching me will suffer a painful death :getsome:
I picked up some lobster gloves and a new helmet from Halter's so I should ready to churn it up again. One thing I did notice was that I get beeped at A LOT when riding down jersey ave heading into NB, I was thinking that I should get an airhorn and start beeping back. I ride with a blinky in the back and a headlight up front, if I pedal fast enough I could almost be a motorcycle! Do you guys have any sort of communication with beeping drivers besides the "wtf do you want me to do hand in air" that I usually pull, I almost want to knock on the window and ask what they think I should be doing. It happens a lot on the intersection where the right lane is right turn only so I pop into the middle lane and ride the white lane divider for like 30 feet before I cross the intersection and pull to the right. After the 4-5th beep of my commute I become irate, and I start swearing to myself :rofl: There's no winning with cars unless there's a bike lane. Also what is there any sort of standard operating procedure with the guys who hover right behind you as if they're doing you a favor? They scare the crap out of me as I keep looking over my shoulder every 10 seconds.
