I finally thought he did see me, then I start to pedal (up hill) and the bastid decides to go. Almost felt on purpose. A few blocks later, similar thing w/a garbage truck.

Do you guys prefer to ride in the street in this type of situation? Or should I stay on the SW? The street is really busy w/parked cars so I worry if a car doesn't get me, an opening door will.

My plan after work is to take a side street as far east as it can take me, and move over to the busy street if I have to, to get to the BP.
