Glad you're ok Trekhawk. Sounds like you have some awesome bike skills too to come out ok. That's vehicular assault in my book, attempted murder

Reminds me on my Sunday ride we were I think in Fremont crossing on an overpass and ... don't you just hate it you're straddleing the line as folks going to the right of you are going onto the fwy entrance and folks to the left of you are continuing on the road and this big black SUV sidles up next to you and yells in your ear "you should be in the bike lane!" and then continues on the fwy?

Hate when that happens.

Just had to hope "well, I hope he does not have murder in him" because I'm kinda stuck in traffic between lanes and if I fall or am pushed over now it's a bad thing and was not the time to lecture him on "you blithering illiterate moron you should know the CA vehicular code is that bikes are traffic and I pay hwy. taxes too and just where is this bike lane that you speak of of eloquently?? get your sedentary 711 slurpy big gulp drinking butt outa the SUV and show me...."

But it was so nice of that lady to stop and check on you! That gives me hope. There are nice drivers out there. Glad you're ok.
