Bicycle
A near miss today reminded me of the wisdom of always leaving a little headroom and not pushing the limit. I was driving on a very twisty road with lots of 10-20mph curves. (Lookout Mt. Rd in Golden CO for those who know) I had a pushy sports car behind me and I was pushing a little harder than I might normally, But, and this is key, I was not pushing it to the limit. I rounded a blind sharp corner and right as I was leaned over pretty good, a bicycle came rounding the corner and a minivan was going around him and very much into my lane! Fortunately I had a bit more lean to go and as always was covering the brakes front and back (ABS), so I was able to barely miss the van. A very white knuckle moment for me and probably the van driver too. ALWAYS leave a little headroom just in case!
