on 3.16.2016 i was riding my bicycle in the street on the way home from an errand.during the middle of the day,not during rush hour. i ride according to the rules for transportation for Texas, follow the rules of the road, stop at stop signs,red lights,use hand signals to indicate turning,wear a helmet,use proper lighting white in front,red in the rear for visibility,and use a neon colored backpack.i even have lights on my spokes opposite the reflector that change colors.i commute regularly by bicycle. despite having had people throw soft drinks at me on several occasions this particular adventure in cycling is more on the creep side.
a white dodge ram long bed pickup truck passed me on my left as we {myself and the truck} both traveled east bound on Eisenhauer Rd. this truck had a red cord hanging from the tail gate latch. i did not get the license plate number. but they were Texas plates. heres the creep part. motor vehicles are supposed to give bicyclist 3ft. of space when passing us. he gave me between 6-12 inches,yes- 1ft at most. and beeped the horn and used the obscene had gesture. this was deliberately dangerous. be wary 78218.
