Just Irate!!
I love riding my bike and do a lot of riding in bike lanes on city streets. I've had my share of close calls, mostly by people that are turning without looking to see if someone (me) is going straight on that road. Today was one of those really nice fall days that happen here in the PNW. I had ridden about 30 miles and was on my way home on a busy road, but one with a well marked bike lane. I approached a driveway from a local High School, saw a car waiting to get out on the busy road, and also saw a car from the road waiting to make a left turn into the High School driveway. I made eye contact with the driver waiting to get out onto the road, but before I knew it, the other driver (a teen with a cell phone held to his ear) was turning right into me. My "truck-driver" lingo came out and I yelled, "AH ****! WHAT THE $&CK ARE YOU DOING??!!!" I almost dumped my bike as I evaded that car, but managed to stay upright. A few minutes later, the driver who had been waiting to leave the driveway slowed along side of me as I rode down the road and asked if I was okay. All in all...it was the Ying and Yang of being a cyclist. No?
Vertically challenged, but expanding my horizons.
