To you nervous and stressed out drivers, We cyclists want to say:
-Slow down my friend; the right lane is the slow lane
-I’m in my lane, in the middle of the lane, I’m in my lane, I have the right to use the street, it belongs to everyone.
-If you want to pass me you must give me at least 3 ft. o just don’t come into my lane.
-When you flash your lights, what is it that you want me to do? Hold up a mirror? I cannot go into the middle lane, it’s the fast lane. I can’t jump up onto the curb it is dangerous for me and for pedestrians. I can’t speed up instantly to match your speed. And even if it is what you want I AM NOT GOING TO DISAPPEAR ALL OF A SUDDEN, so give me a break for a moment, thanks.
- If you flash your lights to annoy me, it doesn’t work. I don’t eat rear-view mirrors and your light doesn’t hurt me, it only makes my reflector shine brighter.
-If I raise my left hand going into an intersection it means I am going to go straight, it is my way of turning on my blinkers seeing that I don’t have any and I can’t go in the fast lane.
-If I can’t indicate where I am going with my hands I will make sure we make eye contact and I hope you indicate your direction with your blinkers.
I’m sorry your desperate, that you are in a hurry or that you think I’m in your way: I am a citizen in a vehicle with just as much right to the road as you; but I am bettering our air quality, saving space and bettering traffic in the city.

Sincerely,

Angel García Fernández
