I see this often in the city. I usually stay behind the car to check the taillight for a blinker. Of course many NYC drivers don't know what a turn signal is or have a case of SMIDGAF. So I also have to look at the front wheel. Also sometimes get pinched in from cars and busses trying to pull over to the side. Another reason to stay behind them.

Today was a nice ride. Originally felt a little tired when I got out of bed. But felt good and a little frisky after warming up on the commute. Originally 50F in the morning but might go down to 40F in the afternoon. So brought a bib tight in the backpack to use for the ride to the car. Kind of odd plannig for falling temps since I'm used to the opposite happening.
