I gotta get a little lead out: Please do me a favor and look out for bicyclists on the road today.!
I started to ride to and from work again, and I had a harrowing experience today with some JackHole in a big SUV. I was cranking big ring style down a small slope, cruising about 30 MPH (not bad for my getaway sticks!) when an SUV pulled up to turn right on a residential street. He started to slow, to heed to my right away, and then mashed the accelerator, got in front of me and turned right. I guess he did not realize that a bike cruising 30MPH comes up on you quick because I had to slam my breaks to not T-Bone him. I actually put my hand on the back of his SUV, still doing 20+ while he was turning. I thought I was going down. He never stopped.
Bikes have the right of way, end of story.
