On my ride today, I got passed by a genius yelling at me to ride on the bike trail 50ft from the bike trail entrance. On the one hand, it was dark, so he may not have seen the sign. On the other hand, this is a commuter park and ride lot for University of Pittsburgh Medical Center employees, so I guarantee they've been here during daylight.
This one sadly is rear-cam only as my Insta360 Go 3 front cam decided to take a header off my handlebars on Saturday and was run over by at least one car before I could get it. The GoPro 11 replacement showed up yesterday.
This is on a side-street, which is narrow enough that cars passing in opposite directions typically require one car to pull over. In this episode, someone decided to follow me up a climb where the opposing traffic can't see down and passed me in order to beat me to a stop sign a few yards ahead. I am thankful nobody was coming the other way. I am also thankful that after watching the other clips, I can see where he pulled onto the street so I know where he lives.
