One day riding my bike home…

One day riding my bike home from work following the rules of the road and using my arm signals when turning, a man in a car sped up past me on my right when I was in left turning lane and yelled at me to get off the f***ing road. I yelled back ‘I don’t care if you are military, I have as much right to be on road as you do.’ I have the utmost respect for our service members, but if a person is rude to myself or others that changes. Also many of the military in that town still ride bikes to and from work using the road as law states for our province, making his comment against his comrades who also chose that mode of transportation.
After many other close calls riding on side of the road as I am suppose to I now ride on the sidewalk and give right of way to pedestrians just to make my ride safer.
