Wow, what a close call you had! I'm so glad you are alright.

Drivers can be so rude to cyclists. Sometimes on purpose, sometimes by accident. Whatever the reason it really gets the heart racing.

To mantain my sanity and keep my blood pressure down, I try to remember two of the Toltec rules: "Don't take things personally," and "Never make assumptions."

That lasted for about three seconds after a passing motorist shouted, "Get off the road Granny and get on the sidewalk."
