Some dumbass almost hit me on my way to work this morning.

[taterguy]

There was condensation all over his windshield.

It was before dawn and I was riding my bike in my standard all-black outfit.

I'd be dead if he hadn't caught a glimpse of my glowing cigarette ember.

What the fuck is wrong with people.

1. You're wearing "all-black" on a dark winter morning?

Are you nuts? Geebus, even under the best of circumstances cyclists and cars can be a recipe for disaster, no matter how respectful the two might try to be of each other. But, while the driver was clearly irresponsible not to clear the condensation, what, exactly do you consider yourself for not wearing some kind of reflective clothing to make yourself better seen?

3. DUzy!

[hlthe2b]

4. I surely hope that was what he was "shooting for..."

With taterguy, one never knows...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Well, I just sent it, so we shall see...;) n/t

[Wait Wut]

8. Did you shoot him?

Or, at least call him inappropriate names?

[taterguy]

In a thread I posted on DU

9. If you are keeping score

the score is "2".

11. I had to read your title twice.

I thought I read "Some dumbass almost hit on me"

12. I hope you've removed all your reflectors.

Reflectors look REALLY stupid with an all black outfit. I hate that!

[Throd]

13. An all flat black paint job gives bikes a cool rockabilly look.

I even spray painted the rims.

16. ...and be sure to dim the display on your cell phone.

Nothing blows the "Night-rider Look" like the glow from a phone. Dumb-asses!

[Curmudgeoness]

14. I'll bet the driver was raccoon.

I've heard raccoon has windshield problems.

15. What the fuck is wrong with people?

you ask this while wearing black - riding a bike on a dark street while smoking a cigarette?
Gee....I don't know...

[taterguy]

19. It was fucking cold outside

Black clothing absorbs the warmth of the sun.

Do not judge until you've biked a mile in my Tevas.

17. I hope you didn't spill your beer.

Those near-misses can be startling. And that can cause beer to be spilt.

Unless you wear a helmet with cupholders and straws.

[taterguy]

18. Did you read the fucking OP? I was on my way to work

Vodka is better for that.

Doesn't make your breath smell.
