Saturday, 8/21 RIDES!!!

[redrhodie]

I did end up going to the police station. Nothing came of it, but they were looking for him, which makes me proud of my local police. The lady at the front desk was very kind, and she made me feel a lot better. It was nice to hear someone say "you could have been killed, thank god you had your cell phone" and not blow me off, like I was expecting. But, now that time has passed, there's no way of proving who was driving, so that's that.

This was an anomaly to riding around here. There are other problems, but not aggression and road rage. I am somewhat concerned about my safety now, and I don't want this to change me, but I probably won't be riding weekend evenings anymore. Back to early mornings until fall. Here I was, trying to get into the Zen of riding in traffic, and it was complete drama.

2 nice cyclists stopped at the scene while I was talking to 911, and were genuinely concerned. That's what I should focus on. The bad in one person brought out the good in 2 others, and karma will handle the rest.
