Last week this guy stood his giant GMC truck on top of the bike lane, essentially blocking the car and bike lane at the same time bc he's an uber driver & that's how he thought he should pull over so his passenger could get in. I had to ride into oncoming traffic, so I yelled "Bike lane!" at him as I passed. Then 100 ft later we're at a red light. He's in the left turn lane, another car is in the right turn lane/bike lane & I'm going straight, so I'm in the straight car lane-which is exactly what I am supposed to do according to the Chicago bikers manual, which I follow to a T bc I want to live. This sociopath pulls up to me & starts harassing me with a sick rapey grin on his face. Bc his bad driving could get someone killed, so I said something. Street harassment is the number one reason woman don't ride their bikes to work, so this guy is being reported for bad driving & attempting (and failing) to silence and intimidate a woman bc she told him no & no one tells him no? Is that it? You wouldn't last one day out here on a bike, bro! You're only tough when you're hiding behind your ridiculously oversized SUV that doesn't belong in a city!
