Some insane cagers on the short stretch of one lane each way 55mph road I have to travel less than a mile on.

I had a tractor/trailer following me with oncoming traffic, so I'm riding center lane to make sure he doesn't try to squeeze by. As traffic clears I move to right tire track and wave him across the double yellow since I could see the road was clear. He didn't try to pass. As I'm wondering why he's not passing I see cars starting to fly by him on the left, without even knowing if the road is clear because their view is clearly blocked by the truck. Eventually there's a car coming the other way, and I hear an engine revving to the left of the truck. The car making the pass barely squeezed between the oncoming car and the front of the 18 wheeler, and would have hit me if I hadn't already anticipated and moved over to the white stripe on the right side of the road.

Then about 200 feet up the road in the dotted yellow line (passing ok) section with the 18 wheeler still behind me and lots of oncoming traffic I suddenly hear a noise to the RIGHT and there's a Ford Ranger flying by both me and the truck on the uneven, rocky, glass filled dirt shoulder. I was so surprised I didn't even think to get a plate # until he was already out of range, but I at least had time to swerve to the left to get out of his way as he was cutting off the truck. That has to be the craziest thing I've seen so far in my short commuting experience.

Just another fun day dodging cars! Just think...if I didn't ride my bike to work I wouldn't have so many "Wow! feels great to be alive!" moments.
