I was just about to overtake a driver when he slid into the bike lane. I assume he was going to park at the curb. I was doing about 15 mph and had to do a quick stop. I had my bright lights on and hit my horn. He STILL didn't see me! |
| Weather Conditions: Perfect riding weather going in. 20 to 30 mph winds on the way home, and HOT! |

Wind must have helped me up the hill in Lake Las Vegas as it was first time without granny gear.
