Bikes: See my sig...

For the most part the commuting was awesome as we are enjoying some great weather and had a little tailwind going to and from school.

My youngest daughter now has 140 km on her odometer after riding 14 consecutive days (even when the weather sucked) while my oldest daughter is behind by 14 km as she missed a day of school.

We witnessed a frightening moment today when a young woman pushing a stroller across the crosswalk was almost mowed down by a woman who wasn't paying any attention and looking to make a right turn against the walk light.

The driver locked up the tires and came within a foot of the stroller and it was the screech of the tires that made me look back to where we had just been.

It was so f-ing close... the driver just put her hands up and I saw her say "I'm sorry".

F that.

Pay attention to what the **** you are doing and don't turn against the walk light you dumb *****.

This happens too often here... drivers who see the walk light and get the idea that means they can make a right turn without checking for pedestrians.

I have taken to kicking cars that do this.
