Ride home last night was very zippy.... The bike rides much faster when I leave the laptop locked in my dock at work. I took the 6 lane street home because it was 4:45 when I left and I knew the traffic would be crawling. It makes for a fun ride when I get to zip past hundreds of cars along the way home.
The ride in this morning was a pleasant 25F and pitch dark. A couple of unlit walkers spooked me when the came around the corner in the street. Guess I wasn't expecting to see people around that early. The van that creeped past me in the left turn lane made a U turn directly if front of an oncoming truck. {Idiot}Screeching tires, smoke, and an exchange of fingers were the result. Makes me feel very exposed in the middle of the intersection when stuff like that happens...what if the truck turned suddenly to avoid a collision.
Oh well, guess my number wasn't up today
