| My Close Call 2007 (1)
I propose an omnibus thread to gather all the missed-me-by->that<-much
posts and offer the following to start
when/where:
today about 15:35, on Prairie north of Wilson in Batavia (IL) , going
to work.
Me:
ultraflourescent hit-me-orange with retroflective stripes, made for
autobahn workers, high vis vest, blaze-clip-me-orange hunting gloves,
flashy spandex speedo tights. MTB, riding right wheel rut, 18 in a 25.
Sunny.
what:
Giant ,*shiny* jacked-up black 4 door chevy pickup, Daddy driving, wife
and daughter onboard, passes so close that his mirror missed my head by
about 4 inches. speeding. Guy laughs at me when i inform him of his
near whacking experience. Fortunately, wife and little girl look
mortified.
oh well. beats getting stuck in a fenderwell.
