On Thursday afternoon i was nearing the end of my ride when i approached one of those white and yellow plastic island/road divider things. I dislike them from a cyclist's point of view as i hate to pass them when a vehicle is also passing at the same time forcing me to nearly touch the kerb to avoid contact with the passing vehicle. Last week a very big wagon squeezed between me and a plastic island missing me by about 18 inches!!
Anyway this Thursday i could hear the approaching wagon and i thought deja vu!! Not this time though, because the wagon passed the island ON THE RIGHT SIDE!!!!
There was no oncoming traffic so he didn't put anybody at risk and he completed the maneuver in a matter of seconds. Funnily enough i waved at him to thank him for not buzzing me and he responded by putting on his hazard warning lights for a few flashes.
Was he being considerate,or was he being stupid? I'd like to think it was the first.
