People are so nice when....

I swear that there were about two feet between it and me. _That_ was unnerving. Wuss. My unnerving tale from yesterday comes from Sydney Airport; my cycling partner declined to take General Holmes Dr with me (it's a tunnel under the runway, for those not familiar with the Sydney Airport area). Thus, we had to merge onto Southern Cross Dr citybound (this is a 80/90 km/h rd) from the right. Thankfully, the road forked (into airport-bound and citybound traffic) just before the merge, and there wasn't any traffic behind us, so we found a gap and crossed into the left lane. I don't think I'm ever going to attempt that again. Next time, I'm taking the (500m longer) bike path. -A |
