As gas prices go higher...and temps warm up I am sure more people will be going after cyclists... sad but true. Motorists probably the majority of uninformed think we are getting a "free ride" without paying for a car, gas, taxes etc... They just don't get it.. Until they start having to pay a bunch more $ and can't afford their six pack... they may switch. I have a friend who can't afford to bring his vehicle up to code for inspection. He said he will be trying for a job just 5 miles away and riding a bike to work! Wow! is what I said and told him he made a good decision. I think slowly people are waking up... just takes time.

Fortunatly I haven't had too many run ins lately. I try to ride when there is less traffic when commuting to work. But that isn't always possible.

Keep Cycling!
