Very nerve-racking moment this morning.

Never had problems with my lights - front or back - with people seeing me. This morning (and man, I'm telling you, I'm still shaking) I hear the squal of tires behind me and jerk my head around to see a car's front bumper a few inches from my back wheel.

I was on a main road where tons of shops and eating places are. It's a 6 lane divided hwy with traffic lights on both sides plus lights from all the businesses and such. Usually only a handfull of cars pass me because it's so darn early. So I've had no problem with cars buzzing me or honking or yelling or anything.

But this morning, SCREEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't panic. I kept my line and headed for the traffic light which was red. When I pulled up the car that almost creamed me pulled beside me. "Get some brighter clothes!!!"

"Did you not see my lights?"

He mumbled something and rode off.

So now I have to by brighter clothes. Well, anything to spend money on safety.
