They're probably just jealous. Kind of like how some people complain when other people "have too much money." Total jealousy. I've been on 16 (see a previous post) and it not only has a stop sign every other block, but it also crosses several busy streets without benefit of a light. It's a pain for me in rush hour. I need a bike like Hollie's that can fly. Good point – if they’re in such a hurry, how come they have time to stop and yell at us? They’re probably just jealous.

But today I'm like "A ha! That's it! She's *what's wrong with this city.*" I have a hard time letting stuff like this roll off my back, but the things drivers think/yell are just so ludicrous sometimes. Some guy (in, of course, a SUV) stopped and rolled down his window to yell at me last week after I sort of shrugged resignedly when he cut me off. I guess he wasn't in all that big a hurry after all. Glad to see you're still riding in! FWIW, I find 16th to be a pretty good conduit for heading north from inner SE.... gets you all the way to the highway in relative peace.
