Merryweather's post gave me a flashback to last night. I was waiting to cross Second Avenue in the East Village and this guy was standing obliviously in the bike lane. Sir! I yelled. Sir, you're in the bike lane! The bike was getting closer, coming down the long block. Sir! I yelled. Sir! Sir! Then the person turned to look at me. Woops. Sorry, Ma'am, I yelled. But you're in the bike lane. At that point she suddenly focused, saw the bike, and stepped backwards up the curb just in time. And gave me a huge smile.
