Easy ride in at good temps. Well, going home yesterday was one of those days, where making a left with me in the front and 3 cars behind, and also one on the opposing street, also making a left. I made sure that he knew my intentions of making a left. I kept my eye on him, as I worry that the car will go straight while I am turning. The light turned green, we both started left, then I remembered that I forgot to look left, and sure enough a green car came barrelling through the red light, and I got my foot out of the clipless in time to stop. The opposing car stopped short also. Everyone was shaking their heads, knowing that I would have been run over had I not looked left. I hate those reminders about just how vulnerable we are in traffic.
