He couldn't wait a few seconds rather than putting my life at risk?
Bikes have the same right to roads as cars. So many drivers ignore that fact. |
You're an ass.
First from what I can tell you rode right through a red light, the Miata was stopped at the light.
2nd, you were riding right down the middle of the lane, plenty of room for you to move to the right on the dotted line giving the vehicle traffic room.
3rd, The Miata gave a toot I see that as him being courteous to let you know he was back there. Probably because you were riding right down the middle of the lane like the entitled cyclist you are. If you moved to the right slightly he would have had room to pass safely.
You are the type that gives all cyclist a bad name. YOU are the problem not the vehicle drivers.
