I had a total dork sighting today.

Going home, on a wide 4 lane ave, one of the most busy West Valley N/S streets. Actually has a bike lane in some spots, and a bike 'route' (unmarked) for the rest. I'm minding my own business heading south, when I hear someone behind me shouting something- before I can react, he buzzes by just inches from me. A cyclist (real bottom of the gene pool BTW) blew by me so fast I did a double take. I was doing maybe 18mph. Turns out, he was hitching a ride to a pickup truck with one of those plumber type rear ends that has built in tool compartments and a metal frame for putting ladders/pipes above. Just holding on to one of the rear frame tubes, going 40mph.

He almost hit me, that's why he was yelling. I could not make out what he was saying (probably 'move over' or similar). I only had a moment to react, glad I did not veer left. Yep, bottom of the gene pool.

Other than that, it was a great, but hot 100f ride. Made good time. Glad to be on my bike decompressing as it was broken Blackberry day. I hate fixing those things, their server software sucks. Makes Exchange look good. Having a Director breathing down your neck for updates on it just adds to the fun. By the time I reach the house, all that tension is gone. Wonderful.
