So I'm riding home from my Jiu Jitsu class last night. It's about 7:00 pm. Still bright out. I am on a road with 1 lane of traffic going each way. There is some old person in a big assed white oldsmobile behind me.
Some dude on rollerblades is trying to cross at a pedestrian crosswalk. The lights go on and I slow down and stop. Now, the MSF instructor I had told me to always watch the fuckers behind me through my mirrors to make sure they didn't plow into the back of my bike. Well sure enough, this old fuck doesn't even slow down until he's almost on top of me. Then I hear the tires lock up.
Now, because I had been watching him, I had already started to move forward, and drove around the pedestrian.
I looked back and it looked like the car was stopped where I had been sitting.
I didn't stop to double check, I just fucked off at that point. Didn't want to deal with some enraged motorist.
So, the MSF is a good thing.
