I didn't even move...

[Mottom24]

this is a short one. I ride my bike to and from work, and my routine for leaving work is (since its a city) i walk my bike to a corner, get on it, and wait for the light to turn red so I can get onto the road with no worries about cars. well I do this... I get on my bike, sit there, and wait for the light, but I was a bit late and it already turned before I got on it.

ok kool, it's red, I can go... no wait... this woman is looking down and looking through her ipod as she walks toward me. I didn't want to be a jerk and cut infront of her to possibly freak her out, so I sit and wait for her to hopefully look up so she can just step aside and i can go on my way and onto the road where i belong once i get started (note: I have not moved yet! i have not peddled once)

she gets so close to me she almost runs into my wheel and jumps back yelling "HEY! BIKES DON"T BELONG ON THE SIDEWALK!"..... so i respond "I didn't even move yet..." in a calm mannor... did she hear me? of course not, she has headphones on with music blasting into her ears, so she yells back even louder "GET BACK ON THE ROAD!" so I yell back "I HAVEN'T EVEN MOVED YET!" so she yells again... because she can't hear me "BIKES BELONG ON THE ROAD" so I snap and yell "I DIDN'T EVEN MOVE YET YOU FAT COW!" as I rode off.... i shouldn't have said fat cow.. I'm not 12 but I sure acted like it. I should have called her on her damn head phones or just flipped her off since she may as well have been deaf.... I hate people sometimes.

I'd have yanked out her headphones and yelled in her ear.

As much as I would ride my bike on the sidewalks around here were I to ride at all, she's technically right.

She's still a raging bitch, however.

oh no, her statements were right. i never ride on the sidewalk. but I hope onto my bike on the little ramp on the sidewalk and wait for the light to turn red. so i technically don't ride on it, i get on, and then immediatly off. her statements were right, but if she took a second to look up (while crossing the street) she would have seen me get on my bike and not even move. she hopped back as if I almost ran into her. she may as well have walked into a parked car.
