yesterday, I made one of the biggest mistakes a commuter can make; I didn't bring my front bike light. Everything was going fine until about midway into the commute; I was going about 30mph down a dark street and a car almost turned into me. If I didn't swerve out of the way, I could have been a hood ornament.
This morning however, in bright summer daylight, someone pulled a similar maneuver on me. Maybe I should just replace everything in my wardrobe with fluorescent green safety gear.
