Dude hope you're okay. If you're a little banged up I wish you a speedy recovery.
I pedal through intersections and when side streets come and there is a car there, I always make eye contact with the driver before I assume he sees me. Even then I don't trust my assumption. ... edit. That isn't true. I try to avoid high traffic streets but if I can't I ride my bike in traffic like a person on a scooter would. Since I'm editing. That reminded me of a few days ago. I was adjusting things and testing and was going faster than normal towards a stop and I started stopping too late and there is a big dodge Cummings coming down the road at about 40 and he didn't have a stop! I hit my brakes hard and my rear skidded to the right and I thought I was going to lay it down on my left and all of a sudden it popped back to the right and when my right foot hit the ground I was stopped, perfectly verticle, and facing 90 degrees to the left pointed right at the driver of the Dodge. We made eye contact, I waved, laughed in relief, and he gave a look that said, "mother humper you just made me s**t myself!"
