a few days ago I was riding in a 4-lane 55mph area, and some lady fiddling with something in her lap(probably her phone) looked right at me and then pulled out in front of me! Thank God I had this kind of hunch she was going to do that...anyway I went from 55mph/6th gear to >20mph/2nd gear very quickly! So yes, the brakes work Great(!), but I didn't plan on using them like that! Luckily there was a business about 100 yards up the road and pulled into the parking lot and sat and shook for about a half an hour. Anyway, after I regained some composure, I just turned around and headed back to the house...
So I figured she didn't even see me. Now I wear my Blaze-Orange Upland Hunting Vest. Everybody looks at me now. So when they look I smile and wave...Not only do they see me they remember that I waved. It works like a champ!
Does anyone else have a close call and did you do anything to remedy it? Do you wear reflective gear or ...?
