Perfect weather: 15c, sunny, no wind. Unfortunately, motorists are progressively becoming more aggressive and dangerous. Stopped at a red light 15m beyond where the bike lane temporarily stops, I watched a car in my rear-view mirror race along in the bike lane behind me, squeezing between the line of cars in the through lane to his left and the line of parked cars on the right, next to the bike-lane. Naturally, he roars right up on me and honks for me to get out of his way when the light turned green and decided to accelerate past me two inches from my left. The woman in the van who made her left turn right in front of me a short time afterward seemed startled that my AirZounds horn was so loud as I swerved to miss slamming into the front quarter panel of her van, but still thought it was worth it to risk my life rather than wait two seconds while I passed in my ROW. Other than that, a fine ride. I need a drink. Sigh.
