Today I was relaxing on a sharrow (shared road way) where I can take up the whole lane. Hermosa Avenue in Hermosa Beach, Ca. Cooling down on mybike. And up come this driver in her Lexus and nearly clipped me. The outside mirror on passenger side came within 6 inches of my handle bar.

Intinctively, I got so MAD, I sprinted and caught the car and tapped the passenger window and let her know I was NOT A HAPPY CAMPER then I passed her and pointed to a road sign, a big bike with arrow dead center of the lane then further down the road, I pointed to a sign that read, "Bicycles may take the whole lane". I then slowed down. The lexus pulled into the passing lane, she rolled down her window and to my suprise she apologized.

SO I GUESS SHE WAS TRYING TO TEACH ME A LESSON BY BUZZING ME? THEN REALIZED SHE WAS IN THE WRONG??

Well its past 7pm and I'm still miffed. Also ruined my cool down portion of my ride today. My partner says I'm acting like a jerky guy!! Well maybe so.

What would you have done?

Hunt down the offending car?
Be rattled?
file a complaint with police?
or just complain to your husband or partner?

GRRR!!!!
