Cutting In
Monday, 15 December 2008

Scooters in Taipei During my bike ride to work, I'm careful to avoid the various cars and busses that pull into my path as I pick my way through traffic. Today, though, I almost had a spill from a least expected source.

As I was pulling away from a stop at an intersection, a hit a fellow cyclist who pulled out right in front of me. The guy that pulled in front of me from the side was riding a road bike and he was going fairly slowly because of the high gearing on his bike. By the time I snapped this photo, though, he had picked up speed and was well on his way. By the next intersection he was out of sight. Up to this day I was pretty much concerned only by squashed by a big bus or clipped by a scooter speeding by. Now, I know that even my fellow cyclist can pose a threat if I'm not careful and paying attention to my surroundings.

Cyclist, watch where you're going!
The cyclist that suddenly pulled in front of me. Watch where ya going, will ya?!
