I'm glad I made it home. My commutes are largely uneventful, but today, I counted six close encounters with vehicles. Admittedly, most were my own fault, either for not paying attention (almost rear-ended a bus, almost got right hooked while filtering) or taking risks (unsafe lane change, unsafe left turn into the path of a right-turning vehicle). Only one incident involved a complete jerk of a driver who nearly ran me down in a crosswalk (yes, I had dismounted and was walking beside my bike). And I got buzzed, but I take partial blame for that because I queue jumped after lane splitting and ticked someone off.

Whew! A ride almost worthy of JoeyBike, except no run red lights. My guardian angel will sleep well tonight. And I'll try to be more careful tomorrow!
