i yelled at an old lady
11 months ago
this past weekend i was riding paradise loop in the bay area on my bicycle. coming over a freeway overpass, a car began drifting in and out of the bike lane ahead of me as i approached. as loudly as i could, i yelled “hey!” multiple times to make them aware of what they were doing, but to no avail. i went to pass them along the left, and saw that it was a very old lady – probably in her 80’s. as i rode by disgusted and pissed, a girl hung out of the passenger-side window of another car and yelled / scolded “hey that’s an old lady!!”
yes, it was an old lady – one who probably had no business being behind the wheel of an automobile. regardless though, a 24 year-old in full lycra on a bicycle screaming at a senior citizen looks bad no matter which way you slice it. this year, if and when i have to engage with bad drivers, it’s going to be on peaceful, non-aggressive terms.
