Who has the right of way at this intersection? Cars continuing on York or cyclists continuing *in the bike lane* onto Casco Bay Bridge?

Red arrow = bike direction of travel
Turquoise arrow = vehicle direction of travel

Extra credit: who (if anyone) should use a turn signal?

Asking for myself, as a bike commuter who nearly got hit by a van (not the one in those Google Maps photo) who IMO cut me off, but am I wrong? There could be a counter complaint from a driver about being cussed out by a cyclist.

Hi all,

Looking for recommendations on comfortable road cycling apparel for a thicc-er gal. I commute to work regularly but just got my first road bike (a gently used Soma Fogcutter! very stoked) and want to go one longer rides (like 20 miles plus). Looking for apparel that is comfortable but not trying to look like a pro athlete 'cause that's just be embarrassing considering my skill / fitness level lol.

I got one padded bib on sale from Pearl Izumi, but even the large was quite tight ☹️. Got sober 3.5 years ago and gained about 40lbs since then, so def struggling with a bit of insecurity in fitness spaces (I'm also a soft masc lesbian so looking like the Venus of Willdendorf feels gender bendy in a dysmorphic way) so trying to find clothes that feel good on my body and in my head, ya know?

Would love recommendations? Thanks
