Good job, bud. I commute to work everyday on the bike and almost always pass some goofball either playing with GPS, shaving, putting on makeup, talking on the cell phone, eating, etc. It's a wonder more of us don't have this happen more often.

Me, I have no excuse, I looked away and didn't see the bus in front of me put on his brakes. Let's be careful out there.
