- September 25, 2013, 07:24:03 AMWOW! Two to three weeks ago there were tons of bikes on the road. Going out on my bike to run some errands last night, and I'm seeing just a handful. The 60 degree weather has pretty much shut down most of the riding around here.
I also learned another thing. My vision is not what it used to be. Approaching a light, it turn yellow, and the car in front of me decided to take a stand and stop for it. I guess I didn't judge my speed and distance to that car correctly, but I had to do a panic stop and I locked the back tire, which made a horrifically-loud screech. I like the screech sound, only not when I'm making it. I did go into a skid, but managed to be able to get in the next lane to avoid smacking the rear of the car. Note to self: Need to be more observant and aware of following distances. Should not be thinking of problems at work while riding.
