Guys like this just irk me is all. No matter how crazy you drive, you aren't getting anywhere any faster than anyone else downtown during rush hour.

Same thing happened to me last summer on Ctr St. The right lane was slowed due to vehicles turning, so I changed lanes. I was about almost by all of the cars in the right lane when the guy directly next to me changed lanes without looking or signalling and hit me. I was lucky as he saw me just as he hit me and quickly turned back. I didn't fall and there was a nice hole in his bumper where it hit my pedal. Very lucky.
Sarichfan, we don't all ride like bike couriers, some of us actually follow the rules of the road. We all need to look out for each other out there.
