Started my commute at 11:30am, zero traffic. I'm doing 40 in a 35, 1 lane. I happen to glance in my mirror and see a guy riding right up on my ass. I pumped the brake a couple times, not enough to slow down, just activate the lights so he knows to back off. Apparently here in Vegas that is the signal to speed up and ride even closer on my ass. At this point I get a little mad, slow down and put my left hand on my knee casual riding style. This I guess is the sign to pass on a 1 lane bridge which he attempts to do. I sped up and he falls back in again on my back tire. So I brake check him and he locks up and skids briefly. Now I'm a little more angry because he's being dangerous. I sat up and nicely let him know to back off with a double bird.
The road widens at this point and he whips over to the left lane. He speeds up and I look over to see exactly who this maniac is. Some guy with the new mullet, meaning the faux mohawk where they just gel their hair up creating a crusty crest down the middle of the head. This disolves my anger and I laugh inside my helmet as this hairstyle wasn't even cool when the style was hot and even less so now that every 15 year old is sporting it. This guy looked in his mid 20's. In any case, he didn't jaw at all, wouldn't look at me. He just looked straight ahead and sped up. Fucking wierdo.
On the plus side a Syclone tried to give me a go a few blocks later. I love those trucks, too bad you don't see them very often anymore. Oh yeah, I know I'm a :squid :squid :squid but what can I say, people doing something wrong and then getting mad when someone calls them on it deserve a finger at the very least. (sometimes two!) Hope he doesn't go home and kick his dog.
