So I'm riding to a photo shoot today on SR436 in Casselberry (for those who know), about to cross the intersection where my friend Andres had a horrific accident when a cager in an SUV turned left directly in front of him.

I stop at the light, thinking about the incident, which happened a bit more than a year ago. I take off from the light with a moderate amount of verve, get the wheel a few inches off the ground and casually accelerate into the distance, of course significantly faster than the cars around me.

Well the woman in the Saturn that was behind me at the light changes lanes behind me, and I hit the next red light. She pulls up to my left and I hear her saying something like "you should be in jail", so I turn and ask "what?" because I wasn't sure I heard what I thought I heard.

At that point she turns up the stereo, and just starts singing along, totally ignoring me, with only her passenger side window open toward me.

So yeah, wtf. Goddamn cagers. You accelerate a little on a bike and they either wish you were dead or in jail.
