Carted mom around today and since it rained I dont have to water the plants but it is back with wind throwing the neighborhoods crap on to the lawn...and speaking of crap them pet owners didnt pick up for them and there was like 5 piles there for me to clean...woo
Almost ran over dude in bike cause he was behind a car when I was inching out from a T section and he had the antsy to tell me to watch where I was going. Well first of all I look to my left for oncoming traffic because I dont expect oncoming things on my right and he wasnt on the sidewalk which I cleared from people when I took a look to pass. So watching where I was going was first looking for pedestrians and then oncoming traffic....I was inching my way forward to look at my right I mean not even hitting one mph so I can pass the parked car to look if anything is coming on the right...i mean really the nose of the car doesnt give much vantage point. I did have on coming traffic but didnt know if the car was going or not apparently he was preparing for a turn...but whatever I didnt hit the bike rider
ya know as a kid I did ride a bike...and I bet this dude didnt even learn bike etiquette. First of all ware a helmet...Second always be on the side of the direction on the flow of traffic which this guy clearly wasn't...what was the saying when one crosses the road... Look left then look right because guess which way the car goes right? Hand gestures to do a turn...but yeah =_= if anyone wants to know...here are simple instructions link and learn

First thing they say and is exactly what happen:
Ride in the same direction as automobile traffic.
By law you must ride in the same direction as automobile traffic. It's EXTREMELY DANGEROUS to ride against traffic as motorists, especially at intersections, are not looking for bicyclists riding the WRONG way.
Funny thing it say BY LAW...
Frankly this is about my third time almost running people over with them bikes because they do this

You should print that out and laminate. Make sure you put the link on it so it's valid and they can check it themselves. So when you do hit a cyclist that was going the wrong way, chuck that at them and say "BY LAW, BITCHES" and then mow them over. That's what I'd do :D
