You guys are missing one obvious point. You don't have to be in such a
blind assed hurry to keep up your average speed, and there is no job
worth taking that kind of risk for. I would have waited out the light,
or at least waited for the truck to pass. It does sound like a city
problem since all I deal with is gravel bottom dump semis all day long
except Sunday. It looks like city driving is considerably more dangerous
than my country runs.
Vigilance.) It should always be dialed up to high when on a bike no
matter where you ride. You have slow traffic and lights, I have fast
traffic and no lights, plus the occasional dog who thinks he owns the
road and gives chase.
We are at the bottom of the food chain, like it or not.
