Angry Driver in Bike Lane
480 Edgewood Avenue, Atlanta, GA
This car was parked in the bike lane on Tuesday at the intersection of Edgewood and Boulevard. About a minute after taking the picture, the car pulled up next to me and started honking. The driver (whose wife apparently saw me taking the photo) began aggressively questioning me, taking pictures of me, and threatening legal action, as well as insinuating the possibility of other, supposedly more physical consequences. "You have to bike past here every single day. Could be very dangerous." "How about I follow you home, see where you live?"
To me, he seemed very concerned about the possibility of his presence being associated with this particular location. Given his New Jersey plates, he probably wasn't too worried about receiving a cheap parking ticket from the APD that he won't ever have to pay. I won't speculate as to exactly what he was so concerned about, but I will note that every single car I've seen parked in this location has been different, and has had an out-of-state license plate. Which seems very strange to me.
The driver followed me to Inman Park station, at which point I entered the MARTA station to avoid further confrontation.
