*snicker*When I was a teenager a cyclist rode out in front of me... his face bounced off the windshield of my '75 Bus (broke them both). Cop gave the guy a ticket and slipped it in his shirt pocket as they lifted him into the ambulance. Priceless.
I was in the Chicago area on Monday to pick my mother up from the airport. I was driving her car making a trip to the Apple store in Oak Brook to see if they had a replacement keyboard for my Macbook. Was turning right off of Route 83, turning on a GREEN ARROW, when a Lance Armstrong ran the red light to cross 83. I turned right into him, struck him with a glancing blow that sent him wobbling for a length, and then he hit the curb and did a flying dive over the handlebars into the flower bed. Luckily I had about 4 other witnesses who saw what happened because the guy was irate enough to call the police. I must say that the Oak Brook police could not have been more professional when they spoke to me and let me know I was never at fault. I must also say I have never seen a bicyclist more irritating in insisting that I was somehow wrong for him running a red light, and I've also never seen a police officer tell a bicyclist to F*CK OFF in such a loud voice or manner.
