. . . and that may not be any exaggeration at all.
Today, a self-absorbed idiot came racing up to an intersection at top speed and turned, at high velocity, directly into my path, from a dedicated left turn lane. I was already a third of the way across the street, crossing with a green trafffic light, with the green PEDESTRIAN LIGHT, in the pedestrian crossing.
Raffi’s situation is still being sorted, so it’s on with a non-riding post, again.
My winter cycling coat is black, and when I start wearing it, I move a safety triangle from my fall coat to it.
This is the first year I’ve worn this particular coat; I bought it at Costco in Montreal before Covid hit, and then didn’t have much opportunity. It was really inexpensive, and like a lot of things Costco, is a clever riff on a much more expensive style.
While Raffi’s issues get sorted (and they are getting sorted, I’m happy to say, if not necessarily rapidly), I’ll publish a post or two which have nothing to so with actual excursions. Forthwith:
I have a long-standing policy of trying to make life tough for any one attempting to run me down. I ride predictably, signal like mad, and try to be as considerate as possible.
So I’m a big fan of florescence. Screaming yellow and green are my friends.
