The commute yesterday was worse from a number of egregious dumb dumb's perspective the commute in today had the biggest jerk yet on my commute award.
Yesterday to name a few a saw a cyclist that was blowing through lights and weaving in and out of traffic, he cut off a yeshiva bus and forced the bus into the bike lane almost getting me smashed in the bike lane. Also across the ever eventful drawbridge on Metropolitan ave a van came careening from behind me as i crested the bridge. He gave me plenty of berth at first but immediately started cutting closer to me. I knew that this meant and immediately applied the brakes. Sure enough he cuts in front of me and makes that immediate right off the bridge. Had i not applied brakes at a minimum i would have been forced into the sewer grate and more likely would have crashed into him cutting me off. That was two of about 10 seriously bad biking/driving things i ran into on that commute. Don't people realize this is life or death? Speaking of which i also had a driver again ask me what the symbol of the left arm bent at the elbow point down means...the stop signal...the streets are not safe...
Today i was coming downhill across Metropolitan and Flushing when a black SUV doing 40-50 honks as he passes maybe 2-3 inches from my left. I was scared crazy because had he hit me there really wasn't much i could have done. It was very very scary.
I wish i didn't have to commute during rush hour ever...
