SLoth.
I thought sloth were irritating in the car, but when I am bicycling they are so much more irritating. Today was a bit cold. I decided to ride anyway. I am on a four lane arterial coming up an intersection where I will be turning left. A BMW is coming up in the left lane, and he accelerates to prevent me from getting into the left turn lane before him. ok, fine, he's got like 300hp, np. I pull into the left turn lane behind him and the arrow expires as we are reaching the line. Waiting... waiting gap. He doesn't take it, I yell, he doesn't go. waiting waiting waiting... waiting... gap... he starts moving SLOWLY gap is closing, I yell "ACCELERATE", he doesn't he goes wide, I go near I pass him, he rolls down the window and yells something at me. For crying out loud, I put out what? a 1/2 hp tops? probably more like a 1/4 or less. So riding goes pretty good cept for being caught by a train and my legs freezing up... Riding along another arterial. This arse wipe passes me, intersection ahead, green light. He cuts back right signals a right and jams on the brakes and then just sits there, at a green light. I swerve around him on the left and pass. Then he makes a SLOW right turn. Then later I get this woman on cellphone. She nearly hits me passing me, stops at a red light ahead of me, then doesn't accelerate. I slap her passenger side 1/4 panel near the tail lamp to get her moving. And those are memerable sloth today. There were a few more, but they were just fast enough to get out my way without being irritating. I don't get it. I'm on a -bicycle- here. my peak speed today was a sad 26.8mph and I am finding people driving motor vehicles to be irritatingly slow. |
