Had a close call this AM.
A bright, clear morning, about 6:30 AM, sun up, but still below the treeline so no visibility issues at all. I was riding North on Miami Blvd (3 lanes Northbound, 3 lanes South). I'm in the right lane doing about 20mph when a car passes me in the middle lane doing about 25- which is odd of course because traffic is usually moving 50-60 on that stretch of road. Driver has a cell phone pressed to his ear (not a big surprise). So no big deal, he keeps poking along in the middle lane and I'm pacing him ~ 50 feet back in the right lane. There's no other traffic immediately behind us, and I had to take a left turn so I start drifting left to get into the left turn lane. The driver, now about 20-30 feet ahead of me, and still in middle lane starts braking. I, now in the left lane, could have gone ahead and passed him but still wasn't sure what he was doing, so I hung back and waited a bit. Then with no warning at all (such as blinkers) he does a left hand U-turn right in front of me. I had to jam on the brakes and swerve into the middle lane to avoid him, approaching traffic behind me hitting their brakes too. I began yelling WTF are you doing? etc.... He of course just kept on going. Not even sure if he knew I was there or not and that he could easily have injured or killed me. Lesson learned...If you're not sure what the driver is doing stay away from him! I'm glad I did, cuz if I had passed him on the left, which was my intial reaction (and totally legal) I probably would have ended up in the hospital.

Other than that, a spectacular morning for a ride. Looking forward to heading home with a 10-15 mph tailwind
