The driver of the vehicle was running a light. The cyclist was passing on a curve in a heavily wooded area. He was also listening to music. Both lessons happened when I was rather new at cycling. I have since learned to anticipate bad decision making on the part of others – which kind of takes the pleasure away from cycling – except for those times of freedom when you manage to find yourself riding in the middle of the night and have the city streets alone to yourself, or out on one of the few country roads left. On second thought, there’s still early Sunday mornings….
