Ok, so what happened here is road construction signs cause a late lane merge.  I ended up almost coming to a complete stop near the car dealership.  I usually clear this section a lot faster but I ended up killing most of my momentum.  Next is the over pass construction.  I usually relinquish Lane control and wait next to the curb when I get caught at the traffic light.  It's a damned if you do and damned if you don't situation.  It can take a couple of extra seconds to clip back in from a dead stop.  So I try to mitigate and minimize the delay in traffic as much as possible.  By using the curb I can remain on my saddle and clip back in a few seconds faster.  It's only few seconds but I figure every little bit helps.

The enters the selfish driver who thinks the road is ALL HIS TO COMMAND!  This guy in some Police auction decommissioned cruiser​ junk-mobile, lowered​  his window to tell me..."You can't ride in the street!!". REALLY?!??  And exactly how is a cyclist to travel past this section of the thoroughfare??  SPROUT WINGS AND FLY???  Not only did I take TOTAL CONTROL of that fucking lane, I even caught up to Mr. Big mouth a few seconds later in the parking lot of WAWA.  Soon as he saw my strobing headlight he tucked tail and pulled out!  HA HA HA HA!  It was obvious his sterotype was shattered.  That what he thought was a lame fat ass on a bicycle and couldn't possibly ride faster than he himself.....Was in fact a more than capable vehicular cyclist.

CYCLIST'S​ LIVES MATTER.....LANE CONTROL SAVES LIVES!!?
