Sorry to hear about your spill Zippiechickie. I am always weary of vans/minivans because they have horrible blind spots and are often filled with distracted drivers/kids. Hope you heal up and get your bike fixed and back on the road soon.

Yea, I went for a ride with my gf yesterday and I counseled her on staying away from minivans and suvs. I told her to avoid staying off their sides if possible and to never remain at their corners. I explained that she was the rabbit and as the rabbit it was her responsibility to look out for and avoid danger!

I almost got taken out by a lady in a black Sedan DeVille last night. She cut right in front of me while changing lanes without even looking.(parking lot speeds)
