My evening commute on most week days consists of getting off the train in the backwater where i live and upon the opening of the manually operated rail crossing winding my way across a thin bridge through the stationary traffic so i have a chance to sprint up most of the hill before the cars catch up and attempt to knock me off. The bridge yesterday was an interesting moment as the man without looking up from the phone in his lap that he was texting on drove forward nearly sending me hurtling into the river had it not been for a swift body position change and a gentle wing mirror clonk to hip. I suppose twitter couldn't wait.
