I meant..

I meant to blog something this week but just fell to the wayside.
First, Im trying to figure out how to create an email list that lets you, the interested reader, know when I post something new! yes! I am going to bombard you with my inner something via blog emails. I dunno what that means but you will know when I figure this out!

so this week I was riding to work along my usual route. Im going down this 2 lane avenue. of course one lane goes one way, the other in the opposite. So im peddling along when I noticed this jeep pulling through an intersection and starts veering over to the right like hes about to pull into a parking spot. Again, im riding along in the bike lane and figure to myself of this guy is pulling in i will cut cut out into the lane to go around while hes pulling in. You know how when people pull into spots they take their sweet time so they dont run into the curb. Well when jeeps do this, btw its a jeep cherokee, the ass hangs out into the bike lane when they pull into the spot. So again, riding along, i figure to take the wide turn around the rear of the jeep to go around. So as this MORON pulls in slowly he hits the gas to make the unexpected u turn. This causes me to swerve slamming on my breaks to the point of where the back break locked and I basically skid off to the side almost slamming right into the driver side and rear passenger doors. A head one almost into the jeep. I swear it looked professional the way i came to a halt. The bike although did stop so short where I kinda had to jump off my pedals to ground myself and stop. Almost like my own personal emergency break. the rear of the bike lifts up sending the seat right into my lower back, or ass, whatever, they both suffered. the driver jilted by the sight of my face right in front of him sends him to hit the gas pedal even more just to avoid me from damaging his car OR having to deal with me saying somehting to him. As of late, and this delves into another story for another time, Ive been trying my best not to let my anger or road rage of these idiots with licenses get to me. Unfortunately this guy pissed me off so bad I just HAD to say something to him. I think I yelled "hey asshole, do you not look for bikers?" and kept riding. I glance back real quick to see if this guy has anything to rebut. Of course, he pulls over and lifts his head out his window to yell back. OH MAN, THIS GUY REALLY WANTS TO HEAR IT FROM ME i think to myself. I of course pull the u turn to ride up to him and confront asshole to see what intelligence he has to defend himself. No, he didnt have apologies, none! What he had to say was just dumb! "Watch where youre riding!" he barks back at me. If he had anything smart or insightful to say to me I was willing to chat but inside i was praying for him to say something that I would allow me to just unleash on him. Watch where youre riding WAS NOT one of them......... one one thousand, two one thousand, three one thousand "WATCH WHERE IM RIDING? YOU FUCKING IDIOT. DO YOU NOT SEE THE BIKE LANE THAT I WAS IN? AM I SUPPOSED TO BE RIDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD ASSHOLE? THE REASON WHY I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING ROAD (i think i might have been foaming at the mouth, defintely spitting!) WAS BECAUSE I THOUGHT YOU WERE PULLING INTO A GOD DAMN PARKING SPOT. TO AVOID YOUR DUMBASS I WENT AROUND YOU NOT EXPECTING YOU TO MAKE AN ILLEGAL FUCKING U TURN YOU MORON!" .... one one thousand, two one thousand The driver then says to me calm down. "CALM DOWN? HOW THE FUCK CAN I CALM DOWN WHEN I ALMOST WHEN HEAD FIRST INTO YOU YOU IDIOT!" The next thing this guy had the balls to say wasnt in defense and if he thought so boy was he scrambling for his next snappy defensive come back. "you should be wearing a helmet!"

OK, time out here before I continue to the epic ending. Now those who read my blogs know that I dont wear a helmet when I ride my bike. Not one day goes by that I dont pass another cyclist on the road wearing a helmet and wondering what goes through their minds when they see me huffin by them. I dont need anyones guilt trip tirade about bikers and helmets in the city. I feel stupid enough ok! Its like the lecture someone gives you about smoking. You know, but yet, you continue to do it. This paragraph in itself is scabbed mental wound that i just pick at and never heals. You know as Im sure you all heard the saying goes... you just never learn. Thats me. Anyways, I know I should wear a helmet.

"I SHOULD BE WEARING A HELMET?!?!?! DO YOU KNOW WHY I DONT WEAR A HELMET? DO YOU? (giving no time for a response) CAUSE BY LAW.... I ........ DONT....... FUCKING....... HAVE.......... TO! BUT NOW THAT I KNOW YOURE ON THE ROAD I MIGHT BE INSPIRED ASSHOLE" and with that i turn around on my bike while i hear him yelling something in the background. Shit, for all I heard he sounded like Charlie Browns teacher! waaah wah waaah......... in conclusion i closed my tirade with "WHATEVER ASSHOLE, JUST WATCH FOR THE BIKERS!"

Thats my blog for now. I might pick up on it later and add some more randomness but for now Im gonna work on that email notification/subscription html whatever you have it whatnot dealy so you can all be apart of my postings.

Remember to share the road with a biker and know the rules of the road! I do!
