I try to be a safe rider. Lights on the bike, wear reflective gear. I do all I can to be seen. However, I can not say the same for most joggers I'm passing "or should I say avoiding" during my morning commute to work lately.
The last 3 KM of my ride are mostly on an old railway line that runs through the woods, and at 6 A.M. it's pitch black outside. The ride passes through some marshy areas and this morning was very foggy and hard to see. I almost took out a jogger, and that jogger then gave me an earful. I had to stop, turn around and give it right back to her. I just don't know what would possess a person to go for an A.M. jog through the woods, dressed in black, no reflective anything and not even a candle of a light. 3 times now I've come up on people in a hurry because of this.
Is it me??? Are joggers becoming unintelligent during there evolution? What gives??????
