Last night had a truly wonderful run over the Williamsburg Bridge and back. Hill run, in windy conditions, while minding the slippery conditions, was completed at 9:17 per mile, a pace I seem to have had a hard time hitting lately. It was my 13th run in December, and I think the increased workouts are making a difference!
Anyway, was coming up Ave A in the bike lane (LOVE the bike lane here, by the way, so much safer for us runners) and came upon a car parked in the bike lane. Annoying, but nothing I’ve never seen before, just need to go around. As I was getting ready to go around the car, a bike comes hurling around in the other direction, and the lady on the bike screams and hits the car as she goes past.
Now, I am a biker as well, and I totally understand the frustration, but really, hitting the car as you go past, on roads that are already slick with slush and ice? Not smart, and not the best way to get your message across. If something were to happen, trust me, it would be the ‘crazy’ biker that would get in trouble, and at much higher risk of injury, not the driver in a non-moving vehicle.
The kicker though, as I passed the car, was seeing that nobody was in the car to hear or feel the outburst…

Did she hit the car on purpose? That is very odd!!!
But anyway, an awesome run for you buddy!
