Morning commute was fine, but it felt like the start of a hot day. When I got to the street by my workplace, an oncoming car made a left turn, which was legal because the light was red for us and green for him. But when the light turned green for us, he left his car blocking 2 of the 3 lanes, because he didn't want to move his car a bit to the right to get around the car that prevented him from driving perfectly straight after his turn.

I got off the road and rode on the sidewalk around him and the backed up car traffic, then returned to the road.

Had a near-accident with another cyclist at the corner of my workplace building - she rocketed around the corner and stopped just short of colliding with me. She looked like a college student - hopefully she learned to slow down before blind corners, and turn a little wide if turning left.
