Biking Updates
Three weeks ago, I finally bought a bike after talking about it for about two years.
Last night, I was almost doored by a guy getting out of his car. He opened his door, then kicked it out open even more without looking back. There were four other people on bicycles in front of me, and a patio full of restaurant patrons who would have seen if I had hit the door and gone through the window. Thank goodness I was already on the brake. Bike lanes are great, but I don’t really like being in the door zone. And so much for lights alerting drivers to my presence.
