0:39.7

like with his fist that's called a punch in america yeah but he missed a little bitch he was wearing a

0:45.1

mesh hat too so he deserved it okay so a guy with a mesh hat you were you were just lime bicycle or

0:51.7

scooter well no i had turned no on the bicycle i was for one second going the wrong way as I was trying to cross the street, you know, through traffic. Oh, okay. And he, he called me a cunt. And I was like, bro, I'm trying to. I'm not like, this wasn't the plan. I'm obviously trying to get out of the way. Get out of the way. I don't want to go to the wrong way. invasive maneuver. maneuver yeah I know the rules of the road and he's he called me a cut and then lunged at me with his phone

1:15.3

like his fist balled up but his phone was in his hand weird and then I told him I'd kill him my usual

1:21.6

kind of go to and he did speed off on his bike and I sped off on my bike and we went on, you know, our merry ways.

1:49.4

But I just, I was, I was stunned. I was just like, bro, I'm not, I don't know. I just, I think you can tell when someone's going the wrong way on purpose and when someone has the right intention of trying to cross the road. I think he chose to, I think he chose to believe what he wanted to believe. But I just, the, the fun part for me is me, a person who famously has lived life on two wheels for decades now, the amount of times I've intentionally, you know, like a knobhead, like an

1:57.9

absolute bell end, you know, purposefully rode on the wrong side of the street, wrong one way, running four red lights, four stop signs.

2:06.9

Not a single person has ever tried to punch me for doing that.

2:10.8

Is it because I look kind of like brolic and more intimidating and you're a little more, I don't know, soft looking?

2:17.4

That could be it. That could be it. I mean, I think, I mean, that is not it, but thank you for entertaining that. That could be it. The answer is clear. No, I think it was, I think maybe my guess is, first of all, we were both on Limes, therefore negating, neither of us is a real cyclist. That's the thing. If a real cyclist did that to me, I'd be like, I deserve that. I'm sorry, sir. You have $10,000 worth of gear on. I don't, you're right. I'm wrong. You know what I mean? Two guys on limes. It's just like, what are we even doing here? Yeah, it was a guy on a lime bike with a high crown mesh hat and some sort of vest on who clearly had maybe a few too many pints at lunch in the afternoon sun and, and he chose to take it out of me. And I was, you know, I was, I wasn't happy with myself for losing my temper, but I was happy for myself for having the reflexes to kind of, you know, scoot back to Bob and Weave when he was

3:08.4

coming at me with his little wussy left. I just like the idea of a real super citizen. Maybe

3:13.6

they don't make them like that in America because, you know, just I have, people have wanted to

3:18.6

hit you and I for many reasons over the years. But for simply disobeying a sort of, you know,

3:26.3

inoffensive traffic regulation, this person's civic duty and super citizenry are

3:33.2

unprecedented.

3:34.5

I think it might have been fueled by Stella or Gennis, but regardless, he was doing the
