Just a story

I was riding in down a relatively busy street, in the bike lane which is next to the parking lane. This guy had parked and got out of his car and was walking up the bike lane. I slowed but refused to move over and looked at him with a half "hi, excuse me" and "uhhh, hello?" face. He let out this big exasperated sigh. I was like are you kidding me? He literally had to step aside 2 feet for me to pass. That irked me.

In general, I don't have many problems with motorists. I live in a relatively bike friendly city. The things I run into (figuratively) are

- people turning in front of me (I don't think they judge well how fast a bike can be going)

- people in parked cars opening their doors in front of me

- senior citizens seem to like to honk at you as they come up from behind

- teenagers seem to be the least aware of you, unless they're honking at you and waving and checking you out.
