Ride for Saturday, 15 March

Down to the farmer's market to do my weekly shopping, did it early as a heavy snowfall was due to hit later. Encountered muppet of the day on the way back. I was riding on Vernon Street (nominally a major bike route) towards Quinpool when a Mercedes stopped at the intersection on Pepperrell. The driver looked at me, then slowly pulled out in front of me. I leaned on my horn and my brakes and the muppet driver continued on until they were in front of me then stopped dead. Fortunately I (just) managed to stop in time and merely grazed my studded tyres against the rear of the vehicle, then discussed with the driver exactly why she was trying to kill me. Her excuse was that she didn't see me despite me having 3 flashing lights going on the front and wearing a high visibility vest. She did, at least, apologise.
