    BRB, sorry you had such a sucky day. Hope it improved.

    I both rode and drove today. While riding, I worked on staying in the lane I meant to continue in, ie: not blocking cars from making their right turns.

    Then, while driving, I was at a T intersection, intending to go right. I stopped to let pedestrians cross on my right. I also saw a cyclist coming up on my right. Lucky for him, the peds were walking slowly, or I would've turned right and creamed him. He came around me from the right, and turned left across in front of me. All of a sudden I *got it* about how dangerous that is.

    I'm a cyclist-aware and friendly driver. But I did not expect him to turn left from my right side. That'll keep me in the correct lane on my bike!
