You never know who’s going to be having a really bad day and use you as a punching bag. I feel far too much like a soft target when I’m riding my bike on busy roads. It isn’t peaceful or relaxing.

I have yet to have a tree run me down even one that’s having a terrible day. Now, I’ve run into a tree once or twice but that’s not the tree’s fault, is it? Not like they move around too much.

No matter the cause of the crash in Quebec, its a tragedy and three people are dead. I’m heartened by the driver’s reaction but these kinds of accidents are really too darned common.
