While I am entirely sympathetic, I have found that the bicycle nannies are equally likely to do this to fellow male cyclists.

What they need to be told is to mind their own business, but I doubt it will have much effect.

I gotta say this guy sounds like a total cheese nuke but bike lane rage is not a sexist issue. Assholes come in all shapes colors and yes, genders. I do appreciate that women everywhere are justifiably on edge given the current political climate. But its everyone's job to refrain from angry backlash and channel this frustration into positive change. That "white male" could easily have been a gay man who is just as freaked out as you, IA. He was in the wrong for scolding a stranger who was minding her biz and not hurting anyone. But finger pointing each other is just what the power mongers want. So let's all do our part to simmer down and focus on the REAL enemies of freedom, and cut each other some slack.

You are just the worst person ever.
