But it doesn't feel like I won anything.
A vehicle coming the opposite way, overtook another vehicle and completed this move.
Then he decided to change into my lane and head towards me - ie. going the wrong way in my lane.
I was planning to turn left so I held my lane (to get a good turning line and so no cars could overtake me). There were also no cars behind me.
I eyeballed him and just before we got close, he changed back to the correct lane.
I feel like I held my lane because
1. the car was not accelerating
2. there were heaps of people around as witnesses
I think if those 2 things had been different, I may have made a different decision.
Now, it didn't really affect me because when I'm cycling, I turn into an absolute hardarse.
I have developed this because I found when cycling, I feel like I need to focus on staying calm and making measured decisions without panicking.
But in hindsight, this morning was probably a risky move and I'm lucky I didn't get injured.
I know everyone will be like "be careful" and I wish I didn't have stories like this, but it is what it is.
It's good
Most of the time it's great fun.
I really think things are getting better - I think odd incidents for me have dropped from once a fortnight to probably once a month.
One day..
P.S. How good is the Sydney weather this week! :)
I finally worked out how to get my bike to lean against a wall with the back wheel only.
By "worked out", I mean I did it for the first time and it worked...
Something to do with aiming the front wheel at that particular angle....
