There’s a first time for everything
OK, so I had to share this one. I was riding my road bike on Broadway last Saturday, toward down town Tucson. (Broadway is one of the main drags in town, and although it has a big bike lane, it’s a really busy multi-lane road.) Suddenly, a big F250 4×4 truck sped by and swerved into the bike lane right in front of me, so far over he almost hit the curb. Gave me a right-good scare. At first I thought he was being aggro or drunk, but quickly realized he was actually swerving to avoid a car that had cut into his lane. No doubt though, he was driving way too fast. Nothing new here. But then, he turned right off Broadway onto a small side street. And as I continued down the road, I saw he had pulled over and was out of his truck and waiting for me. And he was a big fella. He waved me over to stop.
Gulp...I didn’t know what to expect. I nervously slowed to a halt, fully thinking that I was going to be chewed out because I should be riding on the sidewalk, or some such thing. Or worse. But instead, to my astonishment, he proceeded to shake my hand and sincerely apologize for cutting me off! I was speechless. I accepted his apology and rode on. Then he got back in his truck and drove away.
How about that?

Nice to hear the good stories now and again. Not everybody who drives a car is an asshat.
