A Newfound Hate for Prii

Yesterday I was riding to work in the city, which is obviously a hairy endeavor and I accept this in riding my bike.  However, I had my first really (really, REALLY) close brush with a car yesterday.  And it was a Prius.  Riding in my lane, the the Prius switched lanes to avoid a truck in part of my lane, then came along side me and decided to come back in.  It just started merging right into me, and was slow enough that I could move and just be impressed with the driver's lack of awareness.  There was the slightest breath of a nudge at the end, and I'm really glad it wasn't more.  

I like being on my bike because I can feel superior in my environmental-consciousness to Prius drivers.  Fuck you for not being aware of your environment, and for almost hitting someone whose engine needs NO gasoline at all.  

Don't fucking hit bikers.
I wish the Santa Rosa Prius Vandal would get to work on the person that nudged me.
