three times lucky

Beautiful blue and yellow day for cycling. But I almost bought it three times. First a very angry dog tried to take my achilles out. Then a moron on a motorcycle, passing cars on the shoulder, comes up from behind me (on the shoulder!) at 120km/h and nearly grazes me. And then I, near the end of my 50k ride, make a risky move to cross a street and nearly got clipped by and SUV. Great ride. But if my mother knew… : )

That’s great! I have a hill on my way to work with no shoulder and there are always big gravel trucks passing both ways. I always wonder if I’m going to make it as I’m approaching 70 km/h in the early dawn on my skinny little tires.
A couple weeks ago, I almost hit a girl walking in the opposite direction on the shoulder with her head down texting.
