Tuesday evening, driving down J Street, I looked into the rearview mirror, and out of the corner of my eye, I was startled to see an arm attached to my car. As far as I knew I hadn't struck any pedestrians (although, like Robert Novak experienced, these things can sometimes happen without one really noticing).
Turned out, a bicyclist was riding in my right rearview mirror's blind spot. He was lazily gripping my car in order to get motive power from my internal combustion engine.
Aha! I'll show him! I turn right at the next street! But as soon as I signalled to turn right, and started slowing, he shot right past me and avoided injury.
Dagnabit!
