4th of July close encounter

[greendean]

Good Day to All
I was riding home from work on the 4th and of course the packing of those travelers in a hurry can
be hazardous to those of us exposed. I was rolling around 65 when the car in front of me veered left quickly
I see pieces of tubing (parts of a bike rack) get airborne in front of me. Spyde's handling allowed me to swerve
and miss the pieces. 1/2 mile down the road was the traveler on the side of the road looking at his car wondering
what happened to his bike rack. Just another day on the road in Seattle cellphone ,makeup or coffee holiday travelers
who do not how to attach their property. I love my spyders ability to get out or away from close calls.

It's a shame when you have to do it... :shocked:
But it's re-assuring to know that you can! :thumbup:

I have been conditioned to not follow cars and RVs with bikes hanging off the back, pickups with tools and junk piled in back, etc. Good thing you could avoid being hit by the flying parts. Ride on...

I avoid any one with trailers landscapers and trucks cars with hanging things.
That being said it was a new Honda in front of me no sign of danger until they
hit it with rear tire causing it to fly up no early warning.

You just never know when "stuff" is going to happen. Being ready, helps. We had to dodge a flying life vest two days ago. :yikes:

Glad to hear you had enough time to react. Good going.

Even in a car, I follow so far back that other vehicles keep filling the gap, and I have to keep dropping further back. Oh well, better safe than sorry... :lecturef_smilie:
