Would it kill you to let by someone else coming uphill in your direction on a bi-directional path (or at a minimum, a path with one with no direction defined)? Give them a nod and a smile, knowing that your Karma Points Card has been topped up? If not, by all means, be a dick and save yourself the 2 seconds you will need to pull aside and let both of you proceed safely on your commute. So stay bitter and resentful of those wasted 2 seconds of your life you will never get back.
dude, I stop and yield for tons of people, even people riding "the wrong way" as I stated. This guy yielded 10 meters ahead of me, so I was like, cool, I'll ride by and say thanks - THEN he flipped a shit, he purposely yielded to cuss me out for not yielding apparently…even this morning, I stopped while riding uphill to yield to a guy coming down towards me…but guess what, I didn't flip out about it and get in his face…and I ride a way harder bike to ride uphill than this Euro-dude did…
What was I supposed to do, yield 10 meters ahead of an already yielded rider, walk up, make out, tickle his butt hole, tell him I love and appreciate him and then continue on? Jesus. How is this so hard to understand?
Also nice poem. I dig it. It is a better alternative to flying fists.
