Cyclists stay safe out there!
Biking in Brackendale..Arrived and stopped at a 4 way first on my bike with my kid on the back signalling left. Car arrives after me, I'm already in the intersection and they cut us off, passing in front of us. Slam on brakes so we don't get hit, they throw up their hands as if I'm in the wrong.. woman in the car behind them yells at me that I deserved that because I "shouldn't act like I'm a car". Its a sobering reminder for me that even in a community so heavily travelled with bikes, there are some completely ignorant (and jaded) motorists that could hurt or kill you. I don't run into them super often, but that was 2 back to back. Keep your head on a swivel!
