Thanks for letting me rant! I am grateful nothing worse happened but I was so upset that this DH (thanks for teaching me a new abbrev!) couldn't care less that he could've seriously injured me. You're right, not all truckers are so shamelessly reckless but this one set a new low.
I am a really responsible cyclist and stay to the right as much as possible. My "wide load" is certainly not comparable to his! Plus no other cars were coming so he could've easily driven slightly to the left. I was just mad, sad, and scared all at once. I went back out today and wore my red jersey and red vest and reflectie strap things. I took the same route and refuse to let some DH scare me! Next time I will try to look at the plate and report such recklessness.
