The other night I dreamed a semi-truck was passing me, and had to swerve to avoid me as I got sucked under the wheels. Kind of freaky, really, because those trucks really do about suck me under sometimes if they're going fast or it's narrow.
What we have thought of doing is strapping a ski pole to the back end of the bike. Point towards the cars. While the segment of rude people don't mind crushing me, they will mind scratching their car. Most days I don't feel it's necessary, but every so often I get a real idiot and I think about it again.
