Five got splatted here in Chicago in one week a month or so ago. I've seen them in the turn lanes in the middle of busy intersections as if they were cars. Way too crazy for me.

I did also have a humorous exchange of expletives with a dike on a bike who didn't yield to me and my turn signal when I had to make a right turn. She turned her tattoos red with anger. It felt good.

“I’ve seen them in the turn lanes in the middle of busy intersections as if they were cars.”

Uh, how else does a vehicle make a left turn, if we don’t do it out of a left turn lane?

What is really infuriating is a motorist who speeds up to pass us on the left side, only to slam on their brakes to make a right turn squarely in front of us. I mean, would it kill them to ride behind us at 20 mph for that last 100 yards?

Since they are motorless vehicles with the right of way, that is the proper way to navigate a left turn at an intersection like that.
