Near miss with an aimlessly wandering ped on the MUT yesterday on the way home. He probably thought I was going too fast, and maybe I was.

This morning was awesome weather-wise. 10C, sunny, and no wind. Unfortunately, it seemed like an "us vs. them" day on the roads. I usually try to cooperate with drivers, riding FRAP, signalling my turns, holding a straight line, not filtering at traffic lights. But I think I crossed paths with a couple of people who don't like cyclists getting in their way. I started getting frustrated, and I'm afraid I didn't help some people's perception of cyclists downtown as I dodged pedestrians in crosswalks and wove around stopped cars. Sorry folks, just lost my cool a bit.
