Wag O' the Finger: The guy on a bike who COMPLETELY blew the lake street light when riding down the middle of portland ave pulling a bike trailer; SUV very nearly killed him. I was waiting in the bike lane for the light to switch and yelled something to the effect of 'hey dude, not cool!" His (I assume) GF had stopped next to me in the lane and says 'He just rides like that" like that is some kind of fucking explanation.
Dude, you're an asshat biker and you're gonna die then we'll all cry and put a ghost bike up for you. Thanks. In the mean time, you make us all look like asshats, too.

No - This was last friday night like 11pm - I didn't see for 100% sure, but it looked more like a kid trailer repurposed for hauling crap.

Wag O' the Finger: The five separate cyclists
I passed headed the wrong way down 2nd Ave
N. -- try 1st Ave next time, fuckers.
Wag O' the Middle Finger: To the one cyclist
who said, "How do you like that?" after I yelled,
"Wrong way!" -- unless you're racing, STFU.

Tip: 8th and 10th SE this morning - the guy who lowered his window and hollered "thanks" when I stopped and yielded his turn at the 4-way Stop. I do it anyhow, but it's nice to be noticed.
Wag: 8th and 10th SE this evening - the dipshit 2 cars behind me who honked at the car 1 behind me for not passing me half a block before the stop, and then buzzed me on the bridge over 35W right after the stop.
Tip/Wag: Me, for catching him at the red light he was rushing to at Hennepin and staring him down. From what I could tell, his lap must have been fascinating.

I walked to Kowalski's yesterday with my dog. I tied him to the tree and went in and got my stuff. When I came out and my dog and I started across the parking lot again a woman who had been sitting in her car in the same place as she was when I went in looked at my CRC shirt, shook her head and rolled her eyes at me.
I certainly didn't need to say anything to someone that stupid but I told her I liked smart girls and that sitting there for 15 minutes in the same place didn't make her attractive enough to roll her eyes at me. I told her if she was on a bicycle she could roll her eyes at me but nobody on a bicycle would be stupid enough to sit there that long especially when there were plenty of good parking spots right over there at the far end of the lot.
She drove to the far end of the lot and parked. Then she got out and flipped me off. I yelled across the lot "You're looking better since you got out of the coffin! We should do coffee sometime!"
