Be patient. I'm reloading.

It's not quite the same, but I had to chuckle a while back on one of
my "urban rides". I was approaching a light that was going to be red
for a while, at an intersection with four lanes. One right turn, one
right turn/straight, one left turn/straight, and one left turn.

I was in the right/straight lane, going very slowly to time getting to
the car ahead as the light changed. As I approached the huge SUV on
my left (stopped already), I heard the door locks all click.

Heh... at least we can get a "SUV Scared By Bicyclist" headline!

Well, I know you're not Black; did you look homeless by any chance?

Last summer at a light on State St. in downtown Chicago I had a suit
behind me in a black Mercedes honking. I flipped him off and we
exchanged some words. I said something like "**** you, you Republican.
Go back to the suburbs!" I was pleasantly amused that he took great
offense at being called a Republican and stuck his head out the window
and loudly denied it. Musta been one of those north shore limousine
liberals.

I you're wealthy they're not scary at all.

But if you had the misfortune to be born into the lower class and
thought maybe the military might be a way get ahead in life, then
they're VERY scary, as they have no problem risking your life for their
gains.

That happened to me one recent evening. I approached a car that was
probably worth less than my bike + lighting + winter clothing.
*kerchunk* went the door locks. There hasn't been a carjacking in this
town in this decade and stranger-on-stranger assaults are almost
non-existent.

Regarding the topic of this thread: Didn't a drunk (or high) bicyclist
get convicted of homicide for indirectly causing the death of a
motorist who swerved to avoid her?
