On the way home, an Uber pulled over into the separated bike line in front of Crown, and cut me off. I ran into the back of them.

Then when I was close to home, a garbage truck on a side street, started pulling out in front of me. It's very wet, and I wasn't in a position to slam on the brakes. I broke what i could, and moved as far right as possible, so he could see me easier and yelled louder and louder until he finally stopped. He then mouthed "Fuck you".

I had bright lights on, was wearing a fluorescent shirt with reflective strips, on a fluorescent and luminescent bike. It's almost like wearing hi-vis doesn't magical make people who don't look, see you. #CriticalMass
