As I was biking on Saturday, we were riding through the little town of Milford. It's 25 mph through there, but there is no room to pass if you needed to. Also there are 3 cross walks for pedestrians that you have to stop for if there are pedestrians present, so your speed through town is usually pretty slow. We were averaging about 20 mph through there, which on a bike is a pretty good clip, but we were mostly staying with traffic.
As we got out of town, we were approaching the infamous corner where I got hit by a car in June, and we were looking to see if we could get in the left turn lane and it was clear, so we got into the turn lane and stopped at the light. All of a sudden this lady in a jeep came up behind us quickly and started yelling at us. She told us to get off the road and onto the sidewalk because we were holding up traffic. She repeated it over and over again like we were 5. Ever time she said it, we kept telling her that it was illegal and dangerous for us to be on the sidewalk and we have ever right to be on the road. We went back and forth until the light turned green and then she sped around us and left.
Why are people so ignorant to biking laws?!?!?
I bet she yells at baby ducks too!
