Pannier cat is watching you... ride? *shrug* seemed funny to begin with...

Almost got a serious creaming at Queen/Palmerston today, heading west. A white minivan with a couple of youngish girls in the front decided against stopping at the red I was stopped at... I was trackstanding in the curb lane but nearer the center line as they screeched their tyres trying to stop/then deciding to just carry on past me. Pretty unsettling, takes a fair bit to actually scare me these days but this did it... no more than a foot to make the difference. No drama, just ride on I guess.

Thanks for the tip exhibitx, I'll give that a try once I have chance to go at it again.

CX looks like a crapload of fun, I really can't get another bike before I get a touring rig (which I'd rather not switch between touring and 'cross) - would love to try... Maybe I'll get another brake and a freewheel for my Rob Roy, that's what the damn frame was made for after all, heh.
