tuesdays: the peak of aggressivness?
i do not have data to back this up (purely observational), but tuesdays are the peak for aggressive driving. it's like everyone got monday out of their system and they are eager to get to where they are going. and, there are more folks going places during commuting hours. i don't have much more to say about that except it wrings a little joy out of riding to work each time i get buzzed by someone rushing around.
the ride home in the dark is actually pretty fun. for some reason, there is a subset of people that, when they see a bike light they (seemingly) instinctively flick on their high beams. that like hurts my eyes or something. but most of the roads i ride in the darkness are low traffic so it really doesn't happen that often (if i see 10 cars 3 of them might turn their high beams on). i also saw another incident that further proves a theory that robin and i share. that is, people who are drawn to driving lexus made cars generally have complete disregard for their fellow citizens. i saw a lexus do a u-turn on mineral point in front of a car (with nothing but open road behind said car) because they missed a turn. i guess what maybe i'm saying is that there are a lot of dumb shits in the world and a lot of the dumb shits that have achieved a high socioeconomic status seem to drive a lexus. yea, that is about it.
anyway, after bike commutes monday and tuesday i opted for a drive in this morning. saucony sent me a new pair of shoes to test which is coincident with wanting to go for a run (it was fate i guess).
happy wednesday.
