Some people here complain about frequent close passes. It happens

But then, I tend to ride more toward lane center than many
cyclists.

Yesterday was Sunday and without job pressure they drive a lot more
relaxed. But I still got a couple of close passes in 50 miles. But I
was flabbergasted at the complete disregard for
stop-before-free-right-turn. Even directly in front of the auxiliary
police station with a cop right outside they didn't so much as slow
up. And at the main police station perhaps three cars drove right
through red lights.


I had one yesterday (Sunday) he

Our light turned green when I saw a VW Passat approaching in the
opposing left turn lane. Looked like he ain't stopping so I didn't crank
the pedals. Sure enough he didn't and went around with screeching tires.
5mph more and he'd have flown into me and the car to my left. That
driver to my left also must have seen it coming because he didn't
accelerate despite the green light.
