Nah. . . everyone here is selfish and they just go. . . which is fine - that's what I want them to do.

On another note, I had a minor scare on the way home last night. I was travelling downhill at a pretty good rate of speed, albeit cautiously due to traffic, when a woman swerves into the bike lane to pass traffic on the right. Of course I'm immediately behind her and clamping the brakes hard - hoping to stop in time. She then notices me and, of all things, hits the brakes! Nice move. . .

Anyway, I was able to barely squeeze my front tire between her car and the curb, stop, and catch myself by wrestling my foot quickly from the clipless and prop it on the curb. I would certainly have collided with the car, if not for the fortunate gift of space between the rear bumper and curb. Granted, I was almost stopped at this point, and would probably have just fallen onto the sidewalk, but I would have been REALLY upset.

I was still angry, though. I waved to her. She pulled back into traffic and I gently rode past her open passenger window. . . glaring. . . not a word was spoken. . . and she made no acknowledgement of her error. Oh well, overall, I had a pretty good ride home.
