Because he could

19 Jun, 2020 - 6 years ago - on Mcallister Street

Arrogant driving has been on the rise here during the last couple weeks as the lockdown slowly eases. The curve from 7th into McAllister is scary at any time on a bicycle (but a major bike-route from the CalTrain commuter train station into the Western neighborhoods, and signed out as such), because once across Market one has to change across 2 lanes to go straight while 2 lanes worth of cars want to turn right. The only way to get through this safely is get to the left side of the left lane ideally before it turns left. Otherwise they'll push you out, or cut off in any creative way. So you throw your arm out, find a gap, and hail Mary. Usually it goes well. Its really low traffic today, but this one clearly wanted to get a point through. Inches from the handlebar coming from the rear passing by and pushing me back into the right lane only to slow down on his turn right, right in front. Yeah. Feels good, buddy! I'm sure.
