I have zero anxiety about my safety from this incident. It was a very gentle bump. Kinda like a shoulder bump one may get in a group ride.

But my emotions are high in the sense of being reminded there crazies like this driving and how it relates to integrating with 45-50mph traffic when I truely am assertive and drivers are slowed by me and passing me (in adjacent saem direction lane) is not so easy for them due to traffic density. What I can't comprehend is why she even bothered to swerve toward me.

I guess what I mean is I can see (but not accept) how riding in the center of a narrow right most lane may put some crazy over the edge, but not this street.
