First post. I ride PA Ave track am & pm, 5-6x week. Tonight at ~5:30 eastbound, I actually had TWO close calls w/ U-turning cars within 2 blocks (9th – 7th streets).
The 2nd close call was with a red, westbound SUV. Both the driver and I engage our breaks to avoid collision. We stared at each other for 3 or 5 seconds. He actually seemed annoyed at me for getting in his way and interrupting his cell phone conversation. His neck veins bulged. I saw no marked police cars present, so I gathered myself and cycled on.
Moments later, waiting at the 3rd street light, I resolved to come here tonight to commiserate. So seeing this thread was serendipitous.
