Yeah - last section of my ride to work is a queue about 1/4 mile long - I
get to sail right past them all (legally as well - I believe it's called
'overtaking', heheheh...). Most are cool, and some even move slightly
further in to the curb for me, but some others look furious,
heheheheheh.........

Heh! Last week, I was on the return leg of my ride down toward the town
beach, and I passed a line of cars at least 2 miles long. Again
legally; it was a wide-shouldered road, designated as a bike route, so
bikes are allowed to pass on the right. In fact, even the runners (of
which there are several) were passing the cars that day.

Be careful when doing that though - that's what I was up to when I had
my recent stackup. A truck turned through the stopped traffic without
looking to see if anyone was coming down the bike lane (there is a
separate, wide bike lane on this otherwise 2-lane road). I didn't see
him coming either because of the stopped traffic. It all happened
VERY fast, and there was literally nothing I could do to avoid the
impact.

Yes, I was riding very carefully, going slower than normal and watching
both lanes. It was your description of your crash a few weeks ago which
made me more cautious!
