Returning from a week off, had to take the car in for service, rode my bike from the shop to work in the rain. Despite my really bright rain jacket and the fact that traffic light was red, as I was making my left turn on my green light I nearly got hit by a motorist who ran the red light making their left turn: the driver mustn't have even noticed it was red despite the fact that 5 lanes (both sides of the road) were stopped. I wasn't far enough into the intersection to be in any danger but, sheesh!. The woman in the adjacent car was wide-eyed when she saw what nearly happened. Had the motorist pulled into the nearby coffee shop, I'd have gone over to talk to the driver but the car continued down the road and I couldn't have caught up.

Last week was sunny, warm/hot and beautiful, this week is looking very rainy so far.

Stay safe people!
