I rode thru the company lot and I see a Beemer coming at me around 30mph. There was no chance of a collision, but I was like, "wtf!", so I slowed down, blocked the road, and gave my staredown.

Turns out it was one of the managers driving, not my direct report but someone I have to give wide berth. And I am glad the little games I play on a bike most people have no clue what they really mean.

I decided not to sneak attack her by riding 20mph directly at her as she walked from her car, and I also avoided mentioning how she was going too fast or how she should get a bike if she is going to drive like an a-hole.

I noticed she was especially nice to me in the elevator, so I wonder if she is drawing up my papers right now...

chances are if she drives a car like an A$$HOLE then she will ride a bike like one... the last thing we (as bikers) need is bad PR!

I guess staring down a woman from a bike is slightly better than staring down children from a van. Still a bit creepy tho.

Cmon, you were in the military. I bet you get flogged for looking at a superior officer the wrong way...

Nah. I knew my place and the times I stepped out of line I had good reason to and had nothing to worry about.
