jessecwalters Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 So i was on my way to school, running a little late, riding my bike to try to slip through traffic (not lanesplit, but get thru smaller gaps). I get in a line of cars going 70 in a 55 so I'm happy the traffic is moving, i stay in that lane and dont ride the car infront on me's ass. Well, I look in my mirror and see what seems to be the front of a car, i turn around to actually look, and theres a car less then 3 feet off my rear tire. I look at the driver, then turn back around and tap my brakes, not to brake check him, but to hopefully make him realize I dont want him that close to me. Hes ignorant and stays where hes at. So when an opening i can fit through comes, i go through. He follows me and stays on my ass. This happens a couple times, until theres several small gaps (big enough for a bike only) and i slip through them and get like 5 cars ahead. I get off my exit, hes shortly behind but goes in the turn lane. I stare at him the entire time hes next to me, and he acts like nothing happened. I was ready to fuckin punch this guy in the gawddamn face, I was so pissed. People like that shouldnt be able to reproduce. Anywho, made it to school on time and had a great ride home.

chevysoldier Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 wow, glad it didn't end worse. Tailgating really sucks when your on a bike. Nothing like a car getting shoved up your ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessecwalters Posted May 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 plus one to both ^^. They do suck. And it did make me nervous, I kept thinking "i hope this car in front doesnt slam on its brakes" and similar things haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawi kid Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 i will recommend to you next time slow down or pull over so you dont have to take aggressive moves to try and get away from a tailgater. you really only put yourself more at risk doing that.

jessecwalters Posted May 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 Yea, I was thinking that wasnt the best course of action after i got to class. I did try one time to get over, but he got over after me, so i assumed he was just out to get me due to his jealousy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 yeah, the bike instructors used to say slow down. I say increase that gap in front, if you have to stop the car behind you first. You need more room to do that. Same in a car/truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smashweights Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 what ever happened to the good ol' pocket full of big screws trick? chuck a few over your shoulder til he gets the hint.

NinjaNick Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 My jacket doesn't have outside pockets and I'd have a hard time accessing what's inside it if I did have them being that I'm wearing JR GPX 2.0 gloves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessecwalters Posted May 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 I'd rather move away from the asshole than take a chance at pissing him off. Don't get me wrong.. I think fucking up his car is a great idea' date=' but it's a bit of a tactical gamble. I mean, I'm on a bike and he's in a fucking Tahoe.[/quote']+1. I was thinking about the marbles people said they dropped, but he prolly woulda just ran me over if i did that. or they woulda bounced over his car cuz he was so close.
