| 595 | A truck did an extremely close pass while I was on my bike. This forced me to get off the road - luckily there was a gap between two parked cars to do that, otherwise I likely would have sandwiched myself between the truck and a parked vehicle. When I approached the driver at the next red light they said they 'had to be close to me because there was oncoming traffic'. |

I was riding north on a foggy morning |
