Posted by AntiFa I almost got nailed by some dickhead yuppie the other day, causing me to almost wipe out, but lucky for me, my superior biking skills manage to keep me upright, and since he went right into a red light, I was able to sit in front of him for about thirty seconds into the green light Biking in Chicago is awesome.

Sounds like biking in Kansas City. People actually believe that it is illegal to ride your bicycle in the street. (And apparently that if you do it is perfectly permissible to run over you, because they actually try) I mean, when they are not actively trying to kill you, they get verbally abusive and tell you to get on the sidewalk (which *is* illegal, as far as I know). I don't think they have any idea what the laws actually are regarding bikes.
Of course, there is one guy who lives around here who will honk his horn and flip you the bird even if you are walking on the sidewalk and in no way incoveniencing him. It's like he thinks there is no place in the world for pedestrians and that they should all go away, apparently.
