An important lesson. I know this in theory, but I find that my assertiveness still needs work. For instance, I got buzzed the first time I rode Commerce Street in Springfield, eastbound just after Brandon Street (last intersection before the bridge over 95). I was near the gutter, guessing that the lane was wide enough to share side-by-side, but it’s actually just about 13 feet. I think you need 14 to share safely, but it’s tough to judge that on sight.
