there is too much car driver bashing. lets hear some nice things peds and drivers have done for you.
so i was riding at the water front today, and an old man, he looked like richard petty haha, REALLY was looking at my bike when i rode by. when i got to the end of the waterfront, i turned around and rode back. by this time, the man was sitting down. he said “i REALLY like that bike”. i replied with “thanks, its a track bike”. and he sorta rolled his eyes and said, “well i know that! haha”.
and another cyclist saw my bike when we were coming towards each other and was like, “whoa, a tall bike” hahahahahaha
hey! at the water front a long time ago, i was pulling my shirt down because it started to ride up exposing my boxers and a little back, so i pulled it down, this crack whore was like “no baby, i like seein dat” haha
Haha. I don’t know who gives the best compliments, crackheads or heroin junkies. One time I kicked a crackhead in the boob when I was dismounting. I don’t think she even felt it.

“Hey LANCE, you really know how to balance!”
…or something along those lines.[/quote]
where i rode today, it was like a highway. well, i was trackstanding in the middle for hella long because there wasnt any cars going when it was green. i lol’d to myself.
I got hit on by so many junkies in the Tenderloin, but they really loved my football player friend. He made the mistake of wearing a shirt with his name on it out once and he never heard the end of it with people making semi- lewd comments towards him by name.
I always love it now when drivers see me at a 4 way stop and wave me on so I don’t have to put a foot down. At first it used to irritate me, because if they just treated me like a car and went ahead of me, we’d both be through the intersection sooner, but I know they mean well by it.
I once threw my chain and had to move my bike to the sidewalk to work on it. For whatever reason I didn’t have a light to use so it was taking a while. A guy walking his dog came up to me and offered to help, then just waited with me until I got the chain back on. That was pretty cool
working one of the more brutally miserable days this winter i was stopped at a light a block from my house where i was going to change some layers and grab a coffee.
out of know where an old eastern european woman walked up to me and started wrapping me with these two scarves. i declined the offer, but it was ridiculously nice of her.
man, there were a few times this winter despite efforts i was so cold, it was like my brain was frozen - i could barely think straight… sometimes i gotta say. fuck canada.

Someone driving by yelled out “are you ok?” when my front tire blew out and I went over the bars, but they didn’t even slow down so why even bother asking?
thats because the ratio of jackass drivers to nice drivers is about 50 to 1.
