Wednesday Night

Well what can say about tonight's weather? Floods everywhere. Left work early due to the fact that the only road in to the building was cover with about 1 foot of moving water. It was fun riding on the bike out. My feet could not get any wetter since they had to be submerged to pedal. No pictures due to the rain still failing. It would have made a great picture.

Wow did it ever rain this morning. I would like to thank the three drivers on Kildaire Farm Road this morning. They were so nice as to not even slow down while driving though the flooded section after Queensferry. Now I know what it would be like to bike under a waterfall. Thank you again for that experience.

Shot below is of a person that went passed me on the right! Totally illegal move. They used the right turn only lane to do it. They started our behind me then moved right to pass me. This is a typical shot that I use to turn someone into the police. They always call me back. So another idiot reported to the police.

Notice the two cyclist on the other side? They are on the sidewalk and going the wrong way also. VERY dangerous. Not at all safe like they think.

The following is from: www.kenkifer.com

Why Sidewalk Cycling is Dangerous

People wonder how riding bikes on sidewalks can be dangerous. First, there is a greater chance of minor collisions with cyclists and pedestrians due to poorer visibility and restricted room and also a greater chance of falling down. However, the likelihood of a collision with a motor vehicle also increases. These accidents occur at intersections and driveways, the former more deadly. Unwilling to dismount and often unwilling to wait for the light, the bike rider starts across the intersection parallel to the main road, completely hidden from a turning motorist until the last second, when it's often too late for the motorist to stop. A study of these risks was made in 1994 and showed that sidewalk cycling is almost twice as dangerous as cycling in the street, and cycling against the traffic on the sidewalk is over four times as dangerous as cycling in the street.

Well I have been failing to enter my rides each day. But I have been putting them into my Ruby On Rails program I run on my LINUX box so the totals part is correct.

Dangerous Move

I was going through my pictures from previous rides and came across this one. How does this person justify passing me in this situation the way they are. As you can see from the picture they are completely over the double yellow line and there is no way they can see what is coming their way because of the hill. I'm just always amazed by idiot drivers.

And yes I've been lazy with the rain and riding the short way.
