had a tough time keeping my cadence up. I kept falling back to 79-78. Weird because I felt strong and there was no traffic, slowdowns or headwinds. Maybe I was pushing a higher gear ...

A bike commuter I see regularly over the past 3 years, was not paying attention yesterday and nearly drifted into me on the MUP. But at the very last second he either saw me or finally heard me screaming at him and veered away. I only had an inch or two to spare from the tree on the right and he passed probably a foot to the left. I was making myself small - elbows and knees in!!
