Too much of today is reminding me of the last time I rode a bike w/ my kid (then an infant, strapped in a car seat, strapped in a bakfiet, in San José): I confronted an aggressive driver at a stoplight. He proceeded to lean over to his glove box—I was to his right.

I saw my life flash before me; I was positive he was going to pull out a weapon. Instead, he pulled out his registration to wave in my face. This enraged me more. He yelled something to the effect of “Get the fvck off the street!” Since then, I pretty much have, and it stings. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧵" title="Thread" aria-label="Emoji: Thread">
I feel shame for once being a confident cyclist who is now too anxious, and for my son not experiencing the joy of biking around the city. Thankfully, he loves walking & transit. But, damn if that day didn’t break me a bit. And days like today? They crack me right open.
