I was coming up on a light controlled intersectiion with a green light going my way. A car approached the intersectiion with a red from my right. The guy was slowing down as if to stop so I proceeded through. He was only slowing down to roll a right turn, not to stop. At the last second, I stepped off my bike, a LWB recumbent, and let the bike go. He hit the rear wheel but didn't hit me. It only cost me $15.00 to have the rear wheel trued. I considered this a real wake up call concerning inattentive drivers.It was time to ride somewhere else.

I've been riding MUP's ever since. I sure don't miss having cars in my rides anymore. bk
