Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago, only in my case, it was a young lady.

I concluded that she was riding a bike because she must have lost her driver's license and was embarrassed about it, or she was just flat-out neurotic.

It was a shame, because it was an interesting-looking bike -- retro, as it were -- and would've been a good shot. The more I thought about it, the more I wish I'd just told her to go to hell and to keep her neurotic ass at home behind a privacy fence if she didn't want to be seen on her bike. And then there was the esprit d'escalier that inevitably kicks in after such confrontations.

In any event, that'll be the last time something like that happens. The next person will be told to get bent.

I took a photo of bike rider the other day and got yelled at. He asked why I took the photo. I didn't figure he would know HCB so I said it was just a hobby. He then cursed me out. Which must have had some effect because when I got home my Q was no longer working and needs to be sent in again for repair. He was my last photo. Joy.
