CAR CULTURE
On June 4, 1997 while
riding my bike home from work I heard honking behind me. I turned around
to see that the driver was upset because he couldn't move his big truck
in my lane. There were two lanes on each side of the street, I didn't
unerstand why he couldn't move into the next lane. He continued to honk
and I was unable to get onto the sidewalk because I was next to a curb.
He accelorated his vehicle into the next lane and then moved in front
of me. Just ahead at the intersection of Cypress and Main he stopped
at a red light. I cycled up to him and knocked on his passenger window
to tell him off. He refused to lower his window and he started blowing
kisses at me. I kept knocking til he lowered it, then I yelled at him
and told him I had the right to be on the street. His response was "You
don't have a license". At that point the light turned green and
he sped away. I wanted to chunk something at his truck. License? What
the fuck?! Question internal combustion!
