What enrages me about cyclists, are those that do not obey the traffic laws. I am looking out for you, you should also be looking out for my bright ass blue car coming at you when you are breaking those laws.
In the past 24 hours, I have almost hit (and by almost, I mean I'm glad I got new brakes on my car last week) two cyclists. The first instance occurred yesterday evening. This awesome guy came screaming out of a parking lot, attempting to cross 3 lanes of a feeder road. Feeder roads here in Texas are roads that put you on and off the interstate. People do not drive slow on these roads. I hope he made it to wherever he was going.
The second instance happened this morning. I have added a picture to help explain. Here I am with a green light, turning right on my way to work. This douche bag on a bike is in the middle of the lane (my lane, opposite lane of where he should've been riding), coming towards me. They had a red light. He should have been in the other lane (on the side, not the middle of the lane), stopped, with the rest of traffic. Again, glad I have new brakes on my car. I'm also glad the guy behind me had good brakes on his truck, because he came close to rear-ending me. Pretty sure it scared him as much as it scared me, because he almost fell off of his bike. All I can do is hope he learned his lesson. Or, if not, at least heard the choice words and gestures I proceeded to give him.
If you are a cyclist and don't obey the traffic laws, eff you. Eff you hard.
