You guys are studs on studded tires. Here in the Golden State, the biggest hazard is all the crap that's accumulated in the bike lane after the rain and wind on Tuesday.

I had another episode with a driver who was just too polite or clueless: I needed to get into the left turn lane and this driver was where I needed to be, so I waved for her to keep going. Instead, she kept slowing down and waving for me to go. So rather than hold up all the traffic I went ahead of her and settled into the left turn lane.

Then she whips around me on the right and scoots into the left turn lane right in front of me. Okaaaaaay..... Whatever, Lady. That's the same spot you would have had if you'd just moved up like I motioned you to do. Sheeesh.
