Commute home yesterday scared the hell out of me. On a 35mph road where ppl speeding sometimes do 50, I had a car go by me at probably 70mph. He passed me with 1-2 feet from my bar end and I was riding in the lane on the right tire track. It absolutely scared the p%ss out of me. I caught him at the next light and started yelling at him. What was worse, was he said he never even saw me...and based on his slightly apologetic reaction I believed him.
I'm running two superflashes and a cateye LD1000 that are on in the day and an ansi vest. I think I'm switching back to my less direct, but safer route through a parallel neighborhood.
