    I sometimes give them a big smile and thumbs up.

    This can make them even angrier, but I also commute with a 360 camera on my helmet.

    What about when you are running a red left turn light on an 80kph divided highway and a driver sounds their horn to warn you that you’re about to (1) commit a finable traffic infraction and (2) risk your life and the lives of oncoming drivers and passengers?

    The answer is to moon the person warning you, flip them off, and cause right-of-way traffic to dangerously brake to let you proceed.

    In other words: be a cyclist douchebag. Let the down-voting begin.

    Next time I’ll just photograph the skid marks, debris field, and still-warm corpse. Bare-assed, with a defiant middle finger extended.

    Yea, fuck cars.

  • One time I was biking on a residential road and slowed down to enter a roundabout, and the driver behind me laid on the horn, so I stopped my bike in the middle of the lane and turned my head to face him.

    He opened his door, so I stood up and laid my bike down.

    He stayed behind his open car door and said

    you’re lucky I don’t have my glock on me

    and I responded

    You could just hit me with your car

    And he just gently got back in his car without saying anything else (and did not, thankfully, decide to hit me with his car)
