^^^^ Yes, I am aware of that, but on the whole most of the US is not
very cycling tolerant. In agreement with you, I moved from Vermont
to South Florida and it was quite a culture shock. Vermont was mostly
narrow farm roads, bumpy, some with shoulders, some without and the
population was very, very cycling tolerant. People were very patient
and friendly. It was easy to be VC in this type of civility.
1100 miles southernly is an entirely different world. Lots/most(?) of the
population appears to be very unfriendly and intolerant of anything, and the
way you get treated on the road is a reflection of this mindset.
