Bright sunny moring riding to work. Police siren coming from the front. Minivan passing me, neither of us going all that fast as we're about 100' clear of red light. Police car appears from around the curve, Minivan moves over to the right, I start pounding on his windows & yelling. He keeps pulling over, I'm still yelling & banging. There's about 2' of grass & a sidewalk. I head across the grass to the pavement. Police car goes by, van pulls back on to the road & is gone. So now when I hear siren I adjust, sometimes even moving to my left to block some one slowing down from repeating my previous experience
bright sunny, cold morning. A breif (maybe 5 min) sprinkle about 6am. Temp. drops. I roll down the driveway @ 7:30, turn onto the steet & BOOM, I'm down. I stand up & Bang I go down again. I make it to the lawn across the street, sore hip & elbow. I walk on lawns to the main road & ride to work. Black ice. My walk & driveway were both ice free. Also 3 different pavements
