Cooler (-6C/21F) than yesterday with a fairly strong wind resulting in a windchill of -15C/6F and part of the route was going downhill right into the wind so it felt even colder.

Stupid driver: just before the my side of the road splits from 2 lanes to 4 lanes (2 left turning, 2 straight through), I pulled over to the side of the road (see figure below) because of the volume of traffic, there was no way I could make it through to the left turning lanes. I hadn't signaled to pull left across the lanes to the left turning lanes, I was just planning on sitting there until I could hear the traffic noise decrease and then make my move. After a few seconds, I turned around to see a VW stopped behind me with its left signal on, blocking at least 5 cars behind it. I figured the driver had done something similar, waited too long to pull to the left turning lanes but after about 30 seconds, and more cars stopped behind it (I'm surprised that no one honked), the driver looked away from their sideview mirror to forward, saw that I had pulled over to the side, turned off the left signal and drove straight on past me (and waved a thank you). So, therefore, the driver was so afraid of driving past me while I was riding down the hill, that this person decided to change lanes and when that couldn't happen, stop and block traffic.

Drivers that lack confidence in their driving skills or knowledge of the width of their vehicle scare me more than those who know that there is sufficient room in the lane for the two of us and confidently drive past at their normal rate of speed.
