Riding in to work this morning during my morning commute I happened to venture outside the designated bike lane.
For a few seconds, I rode just to the left of the white line to avoid a large cluster of broken glass followed by two parked vehicles.
Quite suddenly a car pulled up beside me not two feet from my handlebars. The driver yelled out his window, "Get in the damn bike lane!"
I was jolted out of my rather pleasant regular morning ride by his angry threatening voice. A jolt of fear hit me, followed by anger. Honestly, I thought, "Why don't you try riding through broken glass and parked cars?"
