Car-Bike Peace Summit

Dear Editor,
    On a recent evening, close to midnight, I was riding my bike south down Metric, crossing an apartment exit/entry driveway.
    I thought the girl in the car had seen me as I approached, however, she almost hit me as she pulled into the street.
    Afraid, I yelled some profanities. As I turned my head I saw her in the car, and she looked shaken herself, and she looked like she was very apologetic for what she had inadvertently done.
    Shortly, she came up beside me in the far lane going the same direction, which I thought was very compassionate.
    She was going slow and had her window down. I gather she was trying to make an amends for what happened, but I was not in a place to be able to hear it at that moment and I just waved her on.
    I don't know who you are, but I want to commend you on your behavior. Many motorists and cyclists, whether in the wrong or right, would not go as far as you did and would have acted very inappropriately.
    Although I was afraid at the time, I apologize for cursing and yelling at you. Some might consider this an appropriate response, yet I don't agree. I feel that if drivers and cyclists are ever going to coexist peacefully, the hotheads are going to have to cool down.
    I wish you all the best, and if you ever want to go cycling together sometime, please let me know. And I would be happy to take a ride in your car, too!
