The drive into work today


As I'm nearing the business park I work in, I see cars all pulled over so I'm thinking crack up. As I pass I see some poor guy on his back not moving at all with a bicycle helmet on. No idea where his bike was, couldn't tell if he got clipped or possibly had a heart attack. On a good note though, Dartmouth hospital was in sight on the right of me.

I'm guessing heart attack or something medical.

kinda makes ya stop and think a bit

I almost got greased, twice, riding my bicycle home from work yesterday (41 miles).

About 10 miles from the office I'm passing through a 4-way intersection riding about a foot off the curb to my right with traffic accelerating past me on the left (light had just turned green). Out of nowhere an unleashed little puppy darted right in front of me on a suicide mission. I managed to brake my way out of a puppy-induced dismount, but Fido kept running right into the road. About halfway through the intersection and trying to pedal ahead of the mayhem, I heard screeching tires and a loud THUMP then people yelling. Then a car accelerates *past* me on the left and SWINGS INTO A DRIVEWAY right in front of me almost sending me over his hood. I wound up on the grass for a few seconds but managed to keep it upright and get out of the way. This is on a very busy road with lots of traffic, poor little dog should have been leashed, WTF. Took another 20 miles to flush the adrenaline out of my system.
