But for some reason I didn't cook, so I guess I'll just move it to today and tomorrow instead.

(What was I even thinking? I knew how hot it'd be!)

Distracted driving is a hazard and so is distracted biking. Yesterday a cyclist made a left hand turn and cut the corning into my lane. No helmet and both hands on his cellphone - not on the handlebars. If I hadn't been going slow (I always slow down approaching a red light) I wouldn't have had time to stop. He would have rammed right into my front end. As far as I can tell he was blissfully unaware of the near accident.

Having physically separate bike lanes would help matters *a lot*. We have none around here and it's too damned dangerous to do any serious travel by bicycle.
