The temp was near freezing tonight, but I had clear skies and a quartering tailwind for most of the ride. A little more drama on tonight's ride than other rides. Less than a mile from the house an SUV was about to pull out of a convenience store in front of me, but noticed me in time to stop and avoid a near miss. A few miles later at one of the traffic circles I must navigate a car buzzed through in front of me. Missed me by about two feet, I don't think she ever saw me. And a few miles later while taking an overpass over the railroad when I crossed one of the seams between the bridge and roadway the vibration caused the mount for my large rear taillight to break off. A circled back to retrieve the light thinking it had just fallen off, but it was busted up and then I noticed the mount was gone too. I had got monies worth, it was about 3-4 years old.
