Light rain this morning. I took the cargo bike since I had to carry some extra stuff and wanted the security of the disc brake. Smooth ride in. Saw a few other cyclists without any lights on their bikes. I don't think they realize how invisible they are.
Last Friday afternoon, I got hit by a car in the bike lane where it bears left between a lane of traffic and a riht turn lane. I looked behind me and had plenty of room, began moving left to follow the lane, and a guy swerved around from another lane of traffic and hit my fork. Luckily it was just a tap and I didn't go over. The driver clearly thought I was at fault. He glared at me through his closed window and continued on his way. The bike is fine, but I imagine he had a nice scratch on his front bumper. Glad I was on the sturdy Kona Ute, and not my little folding bike.
Here's to hoping for an uneventful week...
