    Perhaps the drivers are not as good at judging the size of the vehicle compared to say a truck driver.
    Swerving at you is just plain sickening . So many jerks out there. Glad to hear you are ok.
    There's no doubt it was intentional.... she came up behind me beeping first. There's a bike lane on the road, but it is right next to parked cars, thus dangerous to use. The road is 2 lanes with a middle turning lane and the lane itself is wide. I was just to the left of the bike lane - out of reach of car doors, but still well over in the lane. There was no reason she could not have easily gone around me. Oh - and its not like she was going anywhere that quick anyway. I was right behind her all the way down to the lid where I turned off to go through the tunnel... (that's about 6 or 7 blocks for those who don't know the area)

    I'll have to call back to follow up. The supervisor gave me less than a lot of faith that he'd actually do anything... and he hung up on me while I was attempting to ask him to follow up with me.... (I wanted to give him my phone number)

    This is the third time in just about a month I've been harassed for nothing more than not hugging the curb...... I'm getting a little sick of it.
