That guy not only was riding recklessly (by the definition of almost any LEO), but by his final act of stupidity, he jeopardizes my privilege to continue to legally share lanes in this state. **** 'im. As long as he was going outlaw, why not pass the Volvo on the left? It would have been safer.Also, I try to always stay as far from other vehicles as the road will allow, either to one side of the lane I'm in or the other, and occasionally in the center if there's cages in both surrounding lanes. I'm constantly amazed by riders who position themselves three feet from a big rig next to them, when they could easily be eight feet away. Distance from solid objects is your friend.And tomorrow, I get to ride to work for the first time in almost three weeks, thanks to a bout with the Swine Flu and a parting-gift sinus infection. I'll be sporting my newly-warranteed Cycleport liners on the bottom and new Patagonia wind-proof fleece jacket up under the chain mail.... :yahoo:</blockquote>
