Unfortunately, I’m not the only one facing this recent rash of semi-road rage. Josef, the owner of The Flying Pigeon LA bicycle shop posted up a scarier story where he was literally run off the road on his bakfiet loaded with a bicycle. He was able to maintain balance but his bicycle on top was knocked off the bakfiet and slid across the road. I’m glad he’s okay but to add insult to injury the passenger flips him off! Another story came from a tweet @ActOut who was riding today and a “sophisticated” business man flips her off while driving off in his SUV. The last example came from @SoapBoxLA who was on a bus while the bus driver honks at a bicyclists and explains that the cyclists shouldn’t be there! What is going on here? Why so much anger from drivers of Los Angeles? Oh well, we live another day to ride.
