    That intersection sounds like a deathtrap! Glad you are ok, and definitely file a complaint!

    Is there another way you can go and avoid that intersection?

    In the evening (when the motorists seem more aggressive), I can't avoid it. My plan from now on is to be unclipped when I am crossing in case I have to stop. And also, to never assume that the motorists are going to stop because apparently, they don't care.

    When I was at the light this morning at 6:50, I almost witnessed a woman walking her dog get hit.

    Fabtastic commutes for me the last 2 days. I've started riding my summer route in the mornings, which is 3 miles longer (18 miles one way). It's such a pretty ride. I go by a horse farm, and the horses all look so happy. I pass a couple of small farm stands just selling rhubarb and asparagus at this point. It's a little hillier, and my legs are feeling it now. I had a sweet tailwind for the ride home. I needed that!

    we sure have touchy weather. Yesterday, I escaped by minutes a hail storm and high winds... (well, i got enough wind)
    Today it misted in the morning and RAINED all the way home. Maybe tomorrow it will be nicer?
