Tonight at about 7:45 I was riding on milled pavement for one block on the Pike so that I could scoot into the “damned anyway you try to get there” bikeshare station in front of Rite Aid when my bikeshare bike was hit as someone passed me quickly to make the light. Given how uneven the milled pavement was there (middle of a pavement project) and the amount of groceries I was carrying, I really thought I was going down, but I held on, probably in no small part to it being a CaBi bike. A driver asked me if I was ok (physically, I was).
Called the non-emergency number and asked to make a report.
I’ve asked ACPD to patrol for close passing on the Pike before so I was mainly interested in filing a report on that score. The policeman who came told me that they had found the records for the guy who hit me and would follow up with him. I was more interested in a record of it to bolster the case for cycling infrastructure and enforcement for close passing than in nailing the guy who hit me, but anyway.
