Thursday I went for my usual Davis Is. evening ride. Came very close to being hit by a van. I was heading south in the bike lane, coasting up to the light as it just turned green. I was almost to the other side of the intersection when I felt something wasn't correct (looking back I believe the sound of the van's engine on the right side alerted me). Instead of following the angle of the bike lane I stayed straight. A van blast through the intersection and passed about 6 inches from my handlebar on my right side. Keep in mind there was a right turn lane before the intersection and no lane (except for the bike lane) on the right side after the intersection. Scared the crap out of me and I did a fair amount of uncharacteristic swearing. Anyways still got in 26 miles after I calmed down a bit.



Saturday did my Davis Is. to Picnic Is. ride. I threw in some extra bits to make it more interesting. 41 miles. Sunday had a nice ride out to Flatwoods for 45 miles. Saw some birds on the levy.
