I only had to go 3 blocks.
I'm a good cyclist. I share the road, take the road for my safety when needed, and try to stay up with traffic just to ensure that the cars around me know I'm trying to be one of them.
I left work, and had to cycle 3 blocks to get to a road with a bike lane. A truck driver for RCI Systems hated my existence from the start and immediately started to verbally assault me. He then proceeded to drive within inches of my bike as he passed by. The truck number was 68 and it gave me quite the shake.
I've never used RCI Systems, and likely never will, but if these are the types of employees they hire...then I wish them nothing but the worst.
Dear driver in truck 68, I'm happy to have coffee with you one day and explain a bit more of why I took the lane, who I am as a person, and maybe through that you'll see that you were in the wrong. If not, whatever, I already called your work and put in a formal complaint.
