I had something happen tonight that I can't believe.
I was riding my bike on Cooper Loop, just off of Belle Meade. I was fully in my lane, even a bit closer to the curb than the middle. A yellow golf cart with black trim, occupied by a man and a women were coming in the opposite direction in their lane.
When they got to within 100 feet of me, the driver (he) jerked the cart into my lane, so as to give the impression that he was going to hit me head on. I bristled and grabbed the brakes. He then jerked back into his lane, and they both broke into a loud laugh and went on their way. I mean, this wasn't an accident. It was deliberate....an attempt to frighten me by making it look like they were going to ram me.
Whew! I know there are some strange people mixed into this wonderful community, but that was like high school stuff. They were both in bathing suits, apparently having just come from the Belle Meade swimming pool near the fire station.
I couldn't believe that it was happening.
