this thing happened on Clinton Street yesterday that made me feel really insane - I was riding west and a guy on a lime scooter was riding east as we both approached one of the roundabouts. he rounded the circle and turned left right in front of me passing super close. all I said was “fascinating” (i was truly like two feet away) and he yelled back at me “I had the right of way!”

this exchange made me feel super crazy because I can’t imagine that somebody turning across a lane of traffic would ever have the right of way, but it did make me second-guess myself because of the roundabout situation - do these cancel out
my right of way as somebody biking forward?

i’m calling them “roundabouts” for description, but to me they are really just modal filters and not traditional roundabouts like at coe circle where somebody in the traffic circle would actually have the right of way over somebody trying to go through - but those have yield or stop signs as well.

anyway AITA?

ETA: lmao clear as mud y’all thanks

huge part of the road taped off in front of columbia knoll with a zillion cop cars - what happened?

I’m curious if other folks have had any issues with their motor? I have put about 5200 miles on the bike in 10 months which i know is probably far beyond what most folks here are asking of their bikes. recently I have felt the bike has been jerking when I use the assist in situations it has not previously - really working hard to get up hills and not as smoothly as before. before i take it into the shop i was hoping to get a sense if this is something folks experience, when it started, and if it is expected/fixable.
