A bout of bronchitis has been feeling like trash and off of the bike today, but there’s lots of bike news…
Where: Ringwood Avenue, Menlo Park, California.
When: This morning.
Who: The guy riding the bicycle in front of me.
What: He almost got creamed by a left turning car.
Why: Because the ditz on a bike completely blew through a stop sign at the all-way stop. The left turning car driver very clearly had the right-of-way and had to stop short when the cyclist darted out directly in front of him. Props to the motorist for paying attention to cretins hazards; boo on the cyclist for making the rest of us look bad.
I watched traffic backing up in front of my office along Bayfront Expressway in Menlo Park Tuesday afternoon, and it wasn’t long before I learned police closed the Dumbarton Bridge when a man threatened to jump.
