First time getting coal rolled while biking
I’m still somewhat new to bike commuting and I figured something like this would happen eventually.
Was riding in a sharrow lane in a park with a 30mph speed limit. Pickup truck comes up behind me pretty close and tailgates me for awhile. Bear in mind I’m on an Ebike doing around 25mph so not much under the speed limit even.
This happens a lot and I usually get overtaken eventually more or less respectfully and I don’t think much of it. But this particular dickhead decided to cut me off very recklessly, roll coal in my face, and speed off at probably 45mph on a fairly busy park road at night.
Sometimes the depth of drivers’ stupidity and senseless cruelty is just astonishing
