Quick run to the nearby 7-11 this afternoon and I'm nearly mowed over 3 times!

I just Don't-Fucking-Get-It how someone can look right at you and not 'see' you!
I've certainly had close calls before but I never felt so invisible as I did riding around today on suburban streets in beautiful, clear weather.

1. That kind of thing always seems to come in streaks for me

I'll have some days where everything (even the traffic) seems to flow well, and everything "clicks." Other days, it seems anything with more than two wheels tries to kill me!

2. Reminds me of a T-Shirt I was thinking about buying

They had the State's biggest bike rally close by a couple of weeks ago and several vendors were selling a T-Shirt that sums the problem up nicely.

The shirts were always very bright Orange, very bright indeed. On the back of them in large black print they read:

"Can You See Me Now Asshole?"

What can you say? Some days it just seems like you've got a target painted on you.
