and that .1%... what you are creamed?

Hey, I ride hard when I can, but I find that intersections are not the place for sprinting, and gauging traffic in other places also tempers my pace. For the "looong" unbroken stretches of maybe a quarter mile, I get to act like a dragster. And those unbroken stretches are few and far between.

So how exactly do you ready yourself for red light running motorists that come out blind from behind a line of SUVs/vans... or motorists that look right at you and pull out just as you are in front of them? Riding aggressively into those situations will get you flattened. Don't give me the move left noise... I do that, I also watch tires and all the rest... drivers don't aways make wise decisions when distracted, and that means you have to use caution, which is not riding flat out into harms' way.
