So my commute started with a front flat tire before even getting on the bike. Replaced the tube with a bad tube so after two tube changes, I was ready to go, so I thought. Filled my bottle with ice, but the ice dispenser was clogged so more delay before I could even go out the house! Finally! I'm able to roll! 4.7 km later, got right hooked but since I anticipated that driver's reaction, I turned with her which is when she finally noticed I was there and stopped! Then, 17 km into my commute, while I was going 35 km/h in a 40 km/h zone and in the middle of my lane, a pickup truck going in the opposite direction didn't see me as it turned left into a driveway just in front of me. Luckily, 1/4 into my lane, he finally noticed I was about to be squashed like a bug on its grille and did a hard stop. If he would have kept going, there was nowhere for me to go to avoid him so you can say I was 'lucky'.

So, that was my morning commute.Thankfully there are not many like these...
