I like the idiots who know they need to be in your lane to make their turn, but instead of staying in it, they pull up alongside you to try and beat you when the light turns green, even though their turn is only 100 yards ahead.

See that a lot too, and its more fun on the bike since we can out accelerate most cars out there anyway. Sometimes I iwll mess with them and other times I iwll jus tlet them go and let them think they won and keep them from wanting to run me off the road.

I usually don't have problems that a judicious application of throttle won't solve.

This is the first time I had NOWHERE to go.

The nice thing is, in most of south philly, they're painting in bike lanes. Yeah, yeah they're supposed to be for pedal poopers, but whatever. Unfortunately, you get ass-clowns that double park in the bike lane and median and hog half the remaining lane. So instead of parking, bike lane, and one or two lanes, you get parking, asshole, and half or one-and-a-half lanes.
