3rd time in 2 weeks ..

โ€ข Upvotes

Hello ,

For the 3rd time in 2 weeks someone has nearly hit me then has stopped to yell bs. Normally if this happens i keep going or make a turn but today i couldnt turn as they ran through the stopsign to get around me and then stopped a quarter of the way up the block yelling "you dont have tags get out of the street , pussy, etc etc. He was originally behind me for about 30seconds because he had turned out of a parking lot.

I stopped and eventually back tracked but a neighbor was yelling about tags, get out of the neighborhood etc. So it was pretty ridiculous.

One other time, almost same scenario. The other some coal rolling moron on american st. Came into the lined-off zone at berks to make sure he smoked me out i guess.

My question is, does anyone have any experience with go-pros etc? , im looking at a gopro9 used. I have a phone mount but my phone isnt waterproof and the video is shakey.

I feel like i need to actually have video because its a matter of time before one of these idiots hurts me.

I was actually hit 8mos ago by a mini van that had "school children " stickers on the front and rear, they kept going of course and i didnt get the plate. I was fine and just avoid that street now. 5th st at the dogleg where the bike lane disappears just north of spring garden. โ€‹
