Yesterday at lunch I saw a white escalade rushing down 11th ave, cutting off two cyclists riding in their lane to pull into the left turning lane, only to be stopped by a parked car. One cyclist had to jam on his brakes and he yelled "WTF?". The driver then honked and swore at the cyclists as they went by because he was in a rush, and now needed back into that lane because he couldn't get by the parked car. He will go back to work complaining about the cyclists, while the whole time it was his fault.

I also saw two cyclists riding on the sidewalk and one girl on a bike riding between sidewalk and street. So I guess, 3 bad cyclists, 2 good cyclists and one bad driver.
And a partridge in a pear treeeeeeeeee.
