I was out riding my bike today near 14 Mile Rd near Birmingham /Royal Oak and was about 0.1 sec away from being sideswiped by the rear of a Silverado pickup.

I don’t think he ever saw me and it’s kind of freaking me out. He passed just in front of me. I was wearing a helmet but can’t get out of my mind how many bones I would have broken if he had hit me.

This was not a place I would have considered a dangerous ride. Big road, lots of room, little to no other traffic, speed limit is 35 I think.

I usually feel safe riding but now I am not. How do you get over it?

I understand this may not be the best place for this post. Let me know where is a better place if you know of one.
