I meant to pack my Thumpy away for the remainder of the winter but as it happens I rode in to work again today. It's in the 60s!
Speaking of hazards some dumb animal cager literally tried taking me out a few days ago. There's a twisty little shortcut road I like to take and the other night I was going up it and there was a cager about 1000 ft. ahead of me. At one point the road takes a tight curve to the right and there's a retaining wall along the right side so you can't see over the turn. I come around this turn this dumb animal is stopped in the middle of the road just before it straightens out again. Luckily I wasn't riding fast so there was no danger of me hitting her. But when I went to go around her she aimed her car into me and gunned it.
I think she was deliberately trying to take me out. she knew I wouldn't see her coming around that turn until the very last second and stopped there waiting for me to plow into her truck. Then when that didn't happen she tried cutting me off as I passed her in the oncoming lane.
I flipped her off
WTF is wrong with people?
